Apparently her struggles are so important and pervasive that she just had to straight make poo poo up.

You know what I don't have to make up? Growing Wealth Inequality and increasing homelessness since the 60's.

seems that several folks in this here thread are saying that Goldman flying this flag is A Bad Thing, which means if they didn't do it, that would be A Slightly Less Bad thing, or better course of action

What the gently caress are you talking about "better" and "worse" for when the context is branding for a massive financial institution?

Any step taken by Goldman Sacks' PR team with the goal of improving the G$ brand is poo poo. The only moral action available to them is to leak damaging information and skip town with embezzled funds.

If you had your way, would you have them fly that flag or not fly the flag? It's pretty straight forward. Seems like you would rather them have not flown that flag!

Ideally they wouldn't exist as a corporate entity that could decide to fly a flag at all.

See at least this I can respect. I think it's a Good Thing because of what it denotes for the advancement of rights for the disenfranchised, but also A Bad Thing for the reason you pointed out. At least that's a stance with some actual harm beyond that retarded no true liberal bullshit on the first 7 pages from that bird guy

One might wonder why this happened. Why the outrage, why the infighting, why the mounting demands for revisions and repairs. One might then consider the source. If you get some one hundred people together for the sole purpose of demanding they each be respected and acknowledged in their unique individual identities and underwrite the demand with an assertion that any failure to honor such unique individual identities is rank bigotry, you shouldn’t be surprised when your signatories and audience expects exactly that from you. And maybe this Left is even happy to oblige, to “learn,” to “grow”, to “do better,” to “clean its own house.”

But only until Saturday the 16th.

You guys are mad that it's a transgender flag which is evidenced by the fact that you are floating the tired identity politics garbage theories floated by the right and racists. Why do I know this in spite of the cautious scuttling around the subject?

Context and critical thinking.

Class equality and human acceptance are not mutually exclusive and are in fact mutually beneficial.

But continue, pretend that any black person that speaks French fluently can head to France or Switzerland to get a job just because these are socialist countries and only class inequality is a viable human obstacle. You guys only prefer Bernie merely because he is a man as well as pro-gun.

The saddest part is that Bernie believes in cooperation and civil rights, some of his supporters though, not so much.
