Go woke. Go broke.

Not true. Big business has been moving ever Leftward since the 1960s. Yet they've only gotten bigger and richer.

Hollywood has always produced a certain amount of leftist "passion projects" that lose money. They don't mind. The profit centers will subsidize the passion projects.

Gillette lost some money when it had that tranny commercial. No problem. It's the cost of doing business, and they're happy to pay it.

When all your competitors are woke, when the woke have the power to deplatform any conservative startup, where can conservative consumers go?

Big Companies are in the risk avoidance business. They generally do not take drastic steps unless not taking the step results in significantly increased risks, such as lawsuits. When a big company decides to go woke very publicly look at what’s going on behind the scenes (who’s threatening them)

Anything you say or write in a recorded form that is against this, regardless of being connected to a PayPal transaction, gets them $2,500.

Guilty until the far left bass tards get your money. I’ve never used the corrupt Paypal and never will.

It means if you’re a conservative speaker, and get paid speaking fees via PayPal, they’ll take your money if you don’t toe the Communist Party Line. If you say, sell Trump merchandise and use PP, they take your money because of your speech. Isn’t it nice to have better people than you decide what you’re allowed to think and say, and who are there to provide a helpful whipping to remind you of your place?

"... many people here would cancel Pay Pal ..."

I can't 'cancel' it because I've never used it.
Oh well....

I'd like all of that Pro Business legislation Republicans handed business over the years back.

Talk about a completely wasted effort.

Expect massive voter fraud ala 2020

No one I know believes that the Ds will willingly hand over control of the government if they lose on 11/8/22.

Except that you agreed to the terms.

You can always challenge their contract as an illegal Adhesion Contract.

But I don't see how the First Amendment would apply, as technically PayPal is a private company.

There is no legal definition of misinformation. It allows Paypal to decide what it likes and what it doesn’t like.

The logical next step is for banks to steal money from your account. Why not? banks are payment processors.

These actions are illegal and unconstitutional, but will never be prosecuted by the government. That means that it’s actually the government that is taking the money.

Next person who says “Sweet land of liberty” owes me a beer or two.

Paypal is more important to the American economy than General Motors ever was.

When I learned about this, this morning on Twitter, I went to delete my PayPal account... they wouldn’t allow me to saying there was a ‘payment in progress’ ... there wasn’t. I removed my debit card from the account. You would have to be stupid to keep a PayPal account after becoming aware of this policy. My sense is they will try to mitigate it, the damage is already done.

God willing there will come a day when they’re prosecuted by specially-constituted Treason tribunals.

Want to bet the progressive vermin will try to apply this to folks who once had PayPal accounts?

At any rate: at the root of this I expect you will find advocacy for homosexuality and other perversions, medical mutilations and the like.
