Put the Squeeze on Woke Corporations

[PoliticallyShort]

Georgia’s new election law brought a tidal wave of corporate opposition, including threats of boycott and demands for revision of the law, which has been described, absurdly, as reimposing Jim Crow ballot restrictions on the Peach State. Delta Airlines CEO Ed Bastian stated, “I need to make it crystal clear that the final bill is unacceptable and does not match Delta’s values… The entire rationale for this bill was based on a lie: that there was widespread voter fraud in Georgia in the 2020 elections.” In 2018, when Delta discontinued benefits for NRA members, Bastian claimed that Delta had to be apolitical; his statements now are clearly hypocritical. But consistency is beside the point when woke capital speaks.

Without addressing the underlying issues, Georgia state house Republicans struck back at Delta’s activism by passing legislation removing favorable tax advantages for the airline giant. However, the state senate declined to take up the bill. This failure of nerve will encourage other companies to attack Georgia and discourage other states from enacting any restrictions on voting, no matter how sensible. The failure of the Georgia GOP to address woke corporate behavior explains why the Atlanta area is now called the new Northern Virginia. The draw of low costs of operation, desperate demand for educated labor, and “business-friendly politicians” brought in the corporate janissaries of the neoliberal consensus. The corporations are happy to accommodate what they view as an impending Democrat takeover; a similar dynamic with regard to election laws is now taking place in Texas.

Large corporations should not have veto power over democratic political processes. While their public relations departments may itch at the threat of consumer boycotts ginned up on social media, our side should make clear that we, too, command millions of partisans who spend money.

Give a list of companies that we can patronize. It will be a small list.

I posted to Frank Ginn about his cowardice re: this bill. He went all RINO on the people in Georgia and let them down.

Personally, I have a list of products I will NEVER buy, beginning with Nike, Starbucks and ANY Coke products. I don’t fly but if I did, it wouldn’t be with Delta.

If you work at one of these companies you should consider slowdowns and other forms of passive resistance.

“Delta Airlines CEO Ed Bastian stated, “I need to make it crystal clear that the final bill is unacceptable and does not match Delta’s values… “

These guys never put their money where their mouth is. Delta can move out of Atlanta and give up all of its terminal gates at Hartsfield-(whatever) airport, if he really means what he says about values. He’s too much of a rank hypocrite to do this, of course.

But, what you and I can do is not patronize Delta. Delta’s never ready when I am from now on.
