ATLANTA (AP) — Some of Georgia’s most prominent corporate leaders on Wednesday began to more forcefully criticize the state’s sweeping new election law, acknowledging the concerns of civil-rights activists who say the measure threatens the democratic process.

...

Speaking later on CNBC, Coca-Cola chief executive James Quincey called the legislation a “step backward.”

“It does not promote principles we have stood for in Georgia around broad access to voting, around voter convenience, about ensuring election integrity,” he said. “This legislation is wrong and needs to be remedied.”

“forward” is a commie slogan. No steps back are allowed.

“Coke getting in on the action”

Didn’t they just tell their employees not to be so white?

They’ll do just fine without my business. Delta too.

The liberal fascist hegemony now rends the temple curtain.

I’ll have to switch to another line of beverages.

Coke, a soda company, demands political corruption and wants you to know about it!

Hey Coke - Delta is ready when you are. You are free to leave.

one question, how will all of the family members milk the system after you are gone?

We do not need you anymore. Give us back our tax breaks and revenue. I hear Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, and Louisville (all are major hubs) are looking for corporate sponsorship.

Quit them years ago when they nearly killed themselves over trying to be the first US corp to do business in communist Vietnam. Besides, Royal Crown cola tastes better and goes really well with Jim Beam...

Make sure you go to their eb site, they show all the brands under their name, so you can avoid them.

They are also into selling waters and flavored non-soda drinks, as well as other soda names.
