It's tough for a lot of older conservatives to understand that many big corporations in the US have swung to the far-left on a lot of social issues. This is no longer the Reagan era were "leftists" were on one side and "business" was on the other - today, many "business leaders" are open leftists on everything but a narrow set of economic and tax issues which benefit them personally.

This is a big shift from the past. Another effect is that the idea of "the real world" (ie, the business world) is also gone. I remember stories over the years about crazy kids at universities, followed by comments about how they'd be getting a "wakeup call" when they began working and entered "the real world." Well, this IS the real world now, and many of those crazy campus leftists are being indulged with cushy jobs as a political statement by these corporations.

"Business" has turned hostile toward conservatives in many ways, and it's important to remember this going forward.

DACA = “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals”

Action on these illegals was deferred by the Kenyan sitting in the White House last year.

Now President Trump is un-deferring the action.

What are the odds that she has Mexicans or other Hispanics as house servants and/or yard workers?

“We’ve got 31 of these people at IBM,”

Were they hired on a political agenda, or were they persons who absolutely no regular American citizen was ready, available and capable of filling. If they were the later then shame on IBM. If she is going to argue they were the latter example, I’d argue that was B.S. Either way falsehood and failure to be honest reins at IBM.

How many decades is IBM stuck at $140?

Is she the reason IBM is dying?
