One thing you needn't...Fantastic comment Bill! One thing you needn't worry about is your conclusion that predatory mega-corporations will destroy livelihoods. No, worry that they've always been in the process of destroying EVERYTHING (the entire global economy and economics, our habitat and that of an awful lot of other species of plants, animals, insects, birds, marine life, and much more) and well on the way to the end result of the 6th Great Extinction. These corporations (included in the machinery of capitalism) and the fact that we've overrun the planet (and are still reproducing like cancer) with humans that constantly spew pollution of all kinds into their own fishbowl - it's a complete joke that we've named ourselves the "wise" apes.<br /><br />Back to the topic at hand, i said likewise to my wife when she mentioned it, but used the Chic-fil-a brouhaha and the Hobby Lobby marketing fiasco of associating with ANY kind of discrimination that it's tantamount to a death sentence for your business, and that i'm sure the boycott of any business that actually heeds these pseudo-religious governor clown's legalized of bigotry would result in a huge push-back at them, their states, and after it affects business enough, their economies, tax revenues, etc. The governors of these states are basically idiots - ignorant of science, business, and basic facts like "shit has consequences" - that have yet again risen to the top of the local power structure to fuck everything up for everyone by doing their best. <br /><br />It's too bad "ya cain't fix stupid" because it would have been nice to have lived in a world that somehow got it right and learned from past mistakes all along, but this is how it is: psychopaths tend to rise to the top of systemic positions of power. It's too late now, so don't worry about anything - it all ends badly no matter what.<br /><br />Hey, as my old Italian neighbor used to say "Hoppy Yeast!" to you and all your readers.<br /><br />Tom<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
