His first protest ever cost him his career, reputation and sense of self; Adam Smith went from being a CFO to being on food stamps after protesting at a Chick-fil-A (now a mindfulness coach in Costa Rica)

I have no idea, but the way he signed on to ‘demonstrate’ and follow-through leads me to believe he likely really wasn’t a very good employee to start with. Who knows? He could be just a schemer who liked to work a bunch of angles. Me? I’d be curious just to know how this story about him came to be.

It wasn’t a protest, it was harassment.

When I saw the CEO of Chick-fil-A wash the feet of a BLM activist I nearly threw up my Chick-fil-A sandwich that I had eaten a year before. I’ll never eat there again.

On second thought after looking like his picture, I feel like he was probably Costa Rican to start with and the name is probably not what he was born to.

Gaystapo brown shirt, drives to Chick fil-a. Verbally assaults a minimum wage attendant. Films it. Gets all self righteous and smug about how “woke” and “right” HE is.

Gets called out.

And wonders WHY no company wants to hire a person that would do this kind of thing.

When I first started reading the headline, I assumed this would be about a January 6 protestor... my mistake.

Yea, lots of people who gathered to redress a grievance with the government are stuck in solitary confinement.

My sympathy meter for this clown is hovering somewhat at the Hamas sympathy level.

there’s a huge difference between attacking people for their beliefs, confronting their employees, and recording it to push your own agenda... and standing against a fraudulent election demanding an audit and being denied. then, because you dared to draw attention to fraud, had your business attacked at every avenue.

literally it’s the same people doing the attacking in both circumstances... this adam smith guy was the liberal/progressive attacker and Lindell was the defender defending against progressive election fraud and being attacked for it.

It is odd the importance to him of lgbt rights vs the importance of Christian beliefs. I don’t think we are getting the full story.

You would have crapped your self had you lived during Jesus’ time. I’m pretty sure you couldn’t handle what Jesus did many times.

Anonymity tends to make people mean. he knew that the Chic Fila really had no power over the stance of the company, but decided that his self-righteous anger at the company justified it. He probably drove away feeling all warm and fuzzy about being such an a$$hole to the employee only to find out that he had lost his cushy job as a result.

There is a story about New York University’s Law School Bar Association president, that stated that Hamas’ slaughter of children in Israel was ‘necessary,’ in an email send to members of the university community. As a result, she lost her job offer from a reputable litigation law firm.

It spawned a discussion about the extent to which a public outburst can break or make a career.

I remembered Mr Adams, and wanted to see where his stupidity landed him - after all, it was a big story.

I also thought it’d be a good story for FR. About 40 folks agree so far.
