An ultimatum like this is not unprecedented. Former Mayor Thomas Menino sent a letter to Chic-Fil-A, telling the company not to open in the city because of their views on same-sex marriage.

This kind of out of control government is Un-American.

One response would be for Walgreens to tell Boston that they will close the rest of their locations if the Council proceeds with their plans. Brass knuckle response is needed in such negotiations.

Interesting.

With Chick Fil A, they prohibited them from doing business in Boston.

With Walgreens, they are attempting to force them to do business in Boston.

What if Walgreens pulled out of Boston altogether? How can they compel a business to do business, in a certain locale?

Yes - tell them what it is.

FASCISM.

Fascism is at its core, government telling “business” (and everyone else, by extension) what to do with their property.

Tell these commie-wannabe Dems that accuse US of being fascist, that DEMS have LONG made the US fascist. Start with EPA rules!

And this trend is widespread throughout this country. These “public servants” have developed the idea that we work for and answer to them. “Government of The Government, By The Government and For The Government”.

Our Founding Fathers are spinning in their graves.

Rightfully so.

Mumbles Menino did the same to Walmart . Would not allow them to open in Boston . They built outside the city and it’s a third world country when you go to them .
