I guess they’ll have to do without it, then.

Yeah but the way the legislative districts are draw benefits rural white voters, so although The presidency, and both senate races were lost by the republicans, and there is a fair chance that they loose the governor and AG offices in 2022 there is not a remote chance that they will be losing the State Legislature any time soon.

All delta has to do is add some lege names to their do-not-do-business-with list. Hard to fly out of georgia without flying delta.

You have little engagement with reality.
Geography does not care about anyone’s politics. Fuel loads and optimal hub locations care very much about geography.

Do the CEOs of any of these GA-based corporations mean a word of these admonishments against Republican-sponsored, anti-democratic voter suppression laws when they speak to business media? Do any of us believe them?
They say what they believe consumers want to hear. But then they continue to fund their GOP campaigns when they run for re-election. Same goes for their support of those Congressional Republicans who voted to not accept the electoral votes in two states on 1/6/21.
Maybe we will forget to look by Fall 2022? That’s their strategy. It is so easy to lose track of the massive collusion between so many conservative monopolies and billionaires with crooked Republican politicians, but let’s prove them wrong.
Millions of Americans do keep track of these things now easily with the follow up feature on our cell phone calendars. American industry better not think that we aren’t going to continue to put up with this corruption without a fight.
Democracy is everything to Americans. Without it we are just another Russia or Argentina. We are not going to let Putin, Kemp, McConnell…or James Quincy…get away with stringing us along any longer.
Move where?
Quick, point out to me the southern state that’s a bastion of civil rights and in a position to be a major airline hub:
Northern Florida? Hah.
Mississippi? FFS, they just got rid of the Stars & Bars on their flag. They’re not gonna be your guys, not yet.
Alabama? Probably the worst of the lot.
Louisiana? Let’s face it, an air travel hub that floods out every time a decent-sized hurricane rolls through isn’t something you want to be planning to move toward in 2021. And again, not exactly a great ‘civil rights’ state.
Next, you need your air traffic hub mated to a terrestrial freight hub. A major rail hub. A major trucking hub. Should Delta be looking for someplace else? Sure. Are they? Maybe, but they’re not gonna say a word until they have a reasonable option. And there are no good options in that quadrant of the country… except Atlanta, which got rebuilt into a massive shipping hub a century and a half ago.

Greenland. You heard it here first.
That’ll give them great coverage of the Southeastern United States, yeah.
Delta should play hard ball. Ban every Georgia R legislator, Kemp and Raffensberger from their craft for violating the right to vote.
Welcome to the enemies of democracy no-fly list bitches. We don’t allow Taliban types on our planes.
ETA - if a bakery can refuse to make a cake, an airline can refuse to allow someone to board.
You PROBABLY aren’t watching the RIVETING EYEWITNESSES to the most IMPORTANT trial there will be this decade?
I have experienced brutality. Like any abuse, one relives it when exposed to it again
Heart of the me too movement.

They didn’t have time to evaluate downside.
This is GOOD

He sold it at least 10 years ago about the time he and Fonda split up. He kept the LIBRARY stuff. I think he got rid of most of that too.

If Delta expressed no opposition to the bill before it was passed, why was there consideration given to punishing the company?
Too little, too late for these corporations to complain. Now they should just get out of Georgia.
So what you are saying is that the GQP can win close elections by mere intimidation and the threat of using the megaphone to defame Dem candidates who win fairly when all votes are counted.
If this is so, the country is in real trouble, regardless of what HR1/S1 does for us.
Given the junk some of these corporations sell, and given that they thrive, I’m not sure how many customers will join any boycott.
They may join; I’m just not sure.
