Nowhere in the statement does it say what provisions they oppose, of course. But they do use the diversity, equity, and inclusion buzzwords.

Corporations have made their stance very clear:

They will do whatever it takes to stay in the good graces of Reddit and twitter as to not risk being "cancelled" by them. It is their worst nightmare. Corporations are no longer right-wing friendly institutions.

Didnt someone brilliantly post something like providing an ID to vote is racist, but providing an ID is not?

I need to save that.

Why is any company making a statement on voting legislation?

From ones that keep people sealed in planes waiting on the tarmace for no reason when deplaning would be effortless.

Translation: Only Big Government can give us the special treatment and bail outs we rely on. Big Government demands we support Big Governments political agenda in return

really makes no sense. They cave to the woke mob on twitter who probably can't buy a plane ticket, let alone pay their rent, yet they attack the majority of their customer base. But there's a reason delta an AA are in a crap ton of debt, decision making isn't their strong suit

That explains it. Its not like the handout block is going to be using them and their destinations that much.

This is all Mega Corp wokeness now

They willingly got into bed with the Dems and their Big Gov INC to receive special treatment that gave them an edge over their competitors

Now the Dems expect them to be their mouthpieces and enforcers of their policies in return for continuing to enjoy government favored status

Maybe Abbott should declare some special COVID restrictions in and around DFW Airport. That way AA employees can experience blue state life. Can't be too careful!

Dems are making phone calls to all the major corps. Either oppose new voter/voting rules or get Cancelled. Full court press by Dems to try to block any tightening of rules and closing of loopholes.

Dems do not want the states to tighten up the loose voting rules that they were able to use to cheat last year. Expect lots of lawsuits when any or these laws are passed. Lots of courts and judges will block the new rules at every turn.

If American Airlines takes this stance, one F16 poster will keep drawing unemployment checks.

Then loosening the binds of states to the center should be seriously explored further.

Yup.

The goal is to institutionalize everything they got away with in 2020.

Let the leadership forfeit anything beyond six figures and "show" this conscience in action by living less at large.

The Dems are trying to bully SWA, too.



The days of businesses being allowed to leave politics to the politicians seem to be in the rear view mirror.

Need to make this a Texas vs D.C. fight issue -- stand with Southwest defying this in the name of Texas.

Maroon Dawn's 6:08 was persuasive. Works well enough.

Because they don't want the DNCCP to come after them.

Plus, nothing scares companies more than the Facebook and Twitter mobs. They still think both represent the vast majority of Americans, when in reality, they represent a tiny fraction of the country.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

out of all the airlines I'm sure SWA knows this, as they're the only one not in debt, time will tell if they cave though

Fine, then tax the crap out of them. I'm tired of protecting them from the leftist tax mob. Let them all die and get taken over by foreign multinationals that don't care about that bs.

Under federal law, foreign companies can only own 25% of the stock in a US airline.

What needs to happen, even if just in embryonic form at first, is a rival competitor to every major woke company start-up. It would makes it creed one thing: We will never ask or react to politics but only sell our product. It will be the old get together rule of "don't talk about politics and religion at table" on steroids.

Those companies would swiftly grow if everyone annoyed at left stuff then left the big one for the challenger.

Exactly. Said the same on the Delta/Geogia thread.

Democrats have made an art form shaking down their corporate cronies and using them as fronts to promote their agenda with the American public.

It's well past time for Republicans to get in the game and start punching back hard using whatever tools they have at their disposal.

Two can play at that game.

Then those who want to protect this country from the vocal crazy left need to get off their ass and make as much or more noise.

Still trying to figure out how AA publicly disagreeing with a voting law proposed in the year 2021 is somehow "dissing" all people who can afford to fly.
