You can read a room like Stevie Wonder.

Lmao, you'd worship Stevie Wonder if he said something remotely conservative or criticized Democrats. :rolleyes:

Then the backtracking would begin when he would criticize Trump.

Does it hurt to be that fricking stupid? If so, that would explain your prescription drugs, and the prescription drugs would explain your post.

Lmao, I guess some people don't want to hear the truth.

Next, you're going to tell me that this board wasn't loving Elon like a month back yet people have largely cooled on him since then.

You can whine about the way things ought to be all you want. When you get out of college and into the real world, you'll get it.

I mean that is how it is.

Refusing service based on politics doesn't breach state and federal law so yes, great rebuttal.

It's happened several times in the past so that IS how the real world works.

Even in this story, the venue has moved the show to somewhere else so political beliefs have clearly influenced who they give service to.

quote:

---

And this is why no one is taking you seriously.

---

You tried arguing that federal and state laws prevented venues from refusing service based on political beliefs.

Freer markets mean that businesses and consumers have the right to give their money/services to whoever they choose provided that it doesn't breach federal laws (external characteristics + religion).

quote:

---

Until then, I'd recommend you listen more and talk less.

---

Once again, great rebuttal. :lol:

quote:

---

We don't have a free market economy. We have a mixed economy. We also have state and federal law.

---

Us having a mixed economy doesn't mean that markets shouldn't be free as possible. A market can be relatively free and it's what we should be advocating for.

I'm not sure how anything you've said argues against what I'm saying.

quote:

---

You're talking out of your arse.

---

No, you are. I'm arguing that markets should be free as possible so nobody should have a problem with venues refusing service. I'm saying we *should* have as free markets as possible.

I'm not sure how having a mixed economy is inconsistent with being okay with venues refusing service to anyone they choose. Just because markets aren't pure free markets doesn't mean we shouldn't be okay with as much freedom as possible.

We also have state and federal law.

Refusing service based on politics doesn't breach state and federal law so yes, great rebuttal.

Well done - you once again demonstrated you have got no idea what you're talking about.

:rolleyes:

It's fricking comical.

You guys worship celebrities/idols.

You guys are so desperate for approval from billionaires, celebrities, singers and any 'elites' that you put them on a pedestal any time they remotely say something conservative.

See threads practically adoring Elon Musk and the quick turn-around when he criticized Trump. Democrats don't worship celebrities anywhere near the same extent - if one happens to vote Republican, there are countless other celebrities that openly say they're a Democrat so it doesn't matter too much to most Democrats.

Mental gymnastics on full display

---

No, it's consistency.

Either you're in favor of free markets or not.

The venue is providing a service and hence should be allowed to refuse entry/refuse to provide the service of providing a place to host an event.

They should refund money to anyone who they refuse service too BUT it would be a part of the agreement people both viewing the show + people who booked the venue signed.

:rolleyes:

Can’t impact prices

My point is, if he impacts prices, he can just as well claim that he brought prices down i.e. releasing oil from reserves, approving leases, speaking to oil CEOs etc.

I haven’t read through this thread. Doesn’t need to be a war. Several strategic incidents of operators doing surgical operator shite, and they’ll see that the constitutionalists mean business, and they’ll be ready to sit down at the table . The right is soft but the left is EXPONENTIALLY weaker.

---

This has got to be a parody.

This board says the left controls institutions, academia, the CIA/FBI, corporations, elites and therefore could not be described as weak. Heck, even 43% of veterans voted for Biden and I suspect a similar percentage serving did so.

Even major weapon manufacturers like Boeing and Raytheon largely donated to Biden in 2020. I'm not sure the left is as weak as you seem to be suggesting.

So you’re that scammer the hacker busted. Also from Jaipur, India. Makes sense. Troll on.

I'm not in Jaipur you moron.

Me having an investment in a development there doesn't make me from Jaipur but go on. :rolleyes:

Dems and Reps are 180 degrees apart. He isn't hanging from dem if the GOP guy is nice.

I supported pretty much every Republican other than Trump.

Trump was just a step too far and I've found myself drifting towards Democrats.

I'm not sure why you'd think I wouldn't change if the GOP guy was Mitt Romney (heck, I supported Mitt Romney).
