She said it’s challenging for LGBT people to work their way up the corporate ladder in Mississippi…

Found a picture of that ladder.

Given the taxpayer boondoggle that pro football teams are (with the notable exception of Green Bay, which owns the team) that’s actually a good thing.

Yeah. But do they know that? I was trying to find something they might care about.

i usually would suggest a boycott of all things mississippi. problem is, mississippi seems to have been effectively boycotted for years. they also have managed to elect an enormous complement of incompetent politicians who can’t see the disasters they bring.

As I expected, because the primary products Mississippi produces as a state are ignorance, despair, and poor dental hygiene.

The dumb TEAliban and Bagger GOP bastards should be offended by a poor child with little or no education and with little or no hope for a decent future. THAT doesn’t seem to bother them. But someone using the bathroom in a manner they deem ā€˜incorrect’…and they go bible-thumping batshitcrazy. Absolutely bewildering.

The economy in Mississippi is different from those many other states that have recently addressed legislation impacting the LGBT community. The state, which has one of the lowest GDPs in the country, is not home to any Fortune 500 companies…

'yup. 'nuff said.

Wait…where is the Green Party to tell us all that there "…is NO difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Cult?

This graph clearly shows the sickening problem perfectly. The poorest, the sickest and the most bigoted, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, bible-thumping, flag waving mouth breathers are glaringly apparent.

"I think culturally, Mississippi is in a different point of their journey than Indiana was and is currently.

It is to be remembered that Mississippi only got around to ratifying the Thirteenth Amendment (abolishing slavery in the United States) in 2013.

ā€œFreedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to loseā€.

Where I might see even Mississippi’s business community creating a backlash is if anyone shows signs of taking the ā€œno sex except within heterosexual marriageā€ thing seriously. I don’t know whether, under this law, a clerk at a no-tell motel could be protected against firing if they refused to rent rooms to anyone. (It might be that the master-serf relationship between employer and employee trumps the right-to-bigotry.)

All this being said, I think the ONLY source of most operating revenue in Mississippi is the Federal Government. IF we actually let them secede, I think we’d come out ahead.

ā€œMississippi lacks the ā€œnexus where the corporate world meets the political world meets the cultural worldā€ā€

In other words, Mississippi is a third-world shithole that needs serious fixing, but the GOP/Teatrolls prevent it while digging the shithole even deeper.

With the mindset the Republican mouthbreathing droolers have demonstrated here, I suppose these will soon be the public bathroom doors mandated in Mess-issippi and like minded GOP cesspool states:

or THIS…where Wilma Ballsdrop will be there to check all who enter:

Don’t forget clear glass toilets so you can make absolutely sure whether there’s a dangledown or not.
