Amid Republicans’ ongoing crusade against boycotts in response to Georgia’s voting law, Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) stepped up to the plate to issue an ominous, albeit hypocritical, warning to corporations that took action against the restrictive voting legislation in a Fox News op-ed published Monday.
So I can go to an MLB game and fly Delta with a diminished chance of sitting next to some Trumper? Praise Allah!
I wonder how Sen. Batboy is going to handle the day of reckoning when he reckons he’s not getting any corporate donations for his re-election? That MyPillow check won’t go very far, dude
Exactly. A feeble-minded nobody in the Senate. Ohh, the business world is soo scared. But why would Georgia care if ‘left-leaning corporate stooges’ are leaving their state? I would think they’d be glad to have more room for trailer parks.
Sounds to me like Major League Baseball, Coca-Cola, Delta and other corporations who are support Democracy and against racist anti-democratic laws need to give money exclusively to Democrat candidates to avoid Republicans gaining majorities ever again.
I mean take away corporate money from Moscow Mitch and the rest and you have no Republican Party.
“The Florida senator then alluded to some sinister day of “reckoning,” which he defined as Republicans regaining the majority in both chambers of Congress, as the start of the backlash that corporations that dared to bash the restrictive law might soon face.”
What is Scott going to do, raise taxes on corporations as a “reckoning?” What a maroon.
I’m hoping Scott buys a Tesla S model and tries the auto pilot feature:
I’m thinking there are ways to bypass the hands on the steering wheel safety feature because I’ve seen YouTube videos of a person laying down in the backseat while car was going down the highway.
After 4 hours of the car burning and dousing it with 32,000 gallons of water, they decided to let it burn out on its own. On the bright side, no cremation costs.
added:
Whether it’s gas, electric or whatever, I think we’re a long ways from depending on a computer and senors to drive our cars. When an autonomous semi goes berserk on a freeway, that will be the end of it for a while.
“Your latest attempts to hurt Georgia’s economy will help us do something that is long overdue – make corporate welfare a thing of the past,” Scott wrote. “There will be no number of well-connected lobbyists you can hire to save you. There will be no amount of donations you can make that will save you. There will be nowhere for you to hide.”
Can’t think of a better way to drive corporate donations to your opponents. The worst Democrats are going to do are raise corporate taxes. That may start sounding better to the C-Suite than unspecified, mob-like threats coming from the GOP.
Sounds like Tesla’s should come with complimentary marshmallows…
Seriously though, two questions.
Why would the Fire Department have to try to reach Tesla (per the linked story) about how the fire should be handled? Shouldn’t this information already be out there, given the sharp rise in EV’s on the road?
What happens when you’re out on the road, way out in the country, and your EV runs out of juice? Do you have to get towed to a charging station, or will tow trucks be able to jump them with enough juice to get them moving again.?
