Another one who can't read the second part of the post where I all but admitted I posted before reading the story. OP is misleading as frick.

But like slack said, they wouldn't have to move the hub to move the HQ. I don't think they'll do that though.

So you made a point without knowing what you were talking about and people calling you out on it are wrong? Makes sense coming from you.

I thought conservatives were all about letting businesses be run by the owners wanted to and government not getting involved. Apparently, your business is required to follow the same political believes as controlling party in the Georgia government.

If a liberal state tried to do something like this to say Chick Fil, the uproar from the right would be insane.

Well I edited my post after I read the article. It was my fault for taking OP at face value since he always types misleading headlines.

If I was truly shitty, I would've just erased my frick up, but I didn't.

My company informed us yesterday that we had to stop using Delta. Which is going to make getting to the east coast from Monroe pretty damn difficult. And kill my medallion status. Thanks Delta.

Sounds like your shitty company is the problem for boycotting a company that stopped supporting a political scam.

Good to know that a state government strong-arming a corporate entity is now "conservative" because it's in favor of the NRA.

Holy shite.

Georgia Senate Panel thought bubble:

"You know what would be a great idea? Let's remove a huge incentive we have offered to the company that is by far the largest employer in the state because they cut ties with the NRA...because linking guns and airplanes is such a great idea."

wrong again. To me it looks like Delta removed the only the NRA discount, not other discounts. So yea the government is telling them to keep a level playing field.

It would cost a hell of a lot more than that $500 million dollar tax break that they'll get in the end anyway.

They've spent tens of billions on Hartsfield Jackson.

A supposedly conservative government should not be altering fiscal policy because a corporate entity decided to discontinue discounts to NRA members. How Delta does business is Delta's business.

The free market reaction would be gun owners deciding not to fly Delta.

It's a damn good thing they aren't the only airline in existence and the free market will go into effect if they do raise prices.

Some of you people just spout shite without thinking.




yep. A Republican Governor telling a company which political organizations they must support if they want a tax break is the epitome of the free market.

He couldn't just let a company support who they want and then let customers decide if they want to spend money with that airline or not.
