What is about Chick-fil-A that absolutely drives so many on the Left to push for its destruction via periodic spasms of boycotts (that typically fail) or imposing abusive government regulations like that proposed by New York State Assemblyman Tony Simone?
Simone is a freshman member of the Empire State's legislature, representing a district that encompasses "Chelsea, Hell’s Kitchen, Midtown and part of the Lincoln Center area in Manhattan," according to his official website.
For whatever reason, Simone became deeply concerned about the fact that some Sunday travelers on the New York Thruway (NYTW) might not be able to get their lunch or dinner at one of the Chick-fil-As operating Monday through Saturday at six state-managed rest stops.
"It’s Sunday, Christmas Eve … thousands of New Yorkers are traveling to their families to find restaurants at rest areas across the state. The Thruways are meant to serve New York travelers first. I think it’s ridiculous that you’re able to close on Sunday, one of the busiest travel days of the week," Simone told a local New York media outlet.
"You know, we get hungry when we’re traveling. We may not like our brother-in-law or sister-in-law’s cooking and wanna get a snack on Christmas Eve," the Democrat Assemblyman noted. "To find one of the restaurants closed on the Thruway is just not in the public good."
So Simone's bill commands Chick-fil-A to violate its own well-known practice of not opening its stores on Sundays so that employees are free to worship or not, as they choose, to spend time with their families, and get some well-deserved rest.

You had a troll smell to you.
Even a Statezilla NY kind of smell
You’d enjoy closed down store fronts over 6 day a week operating store front.
The woke one is looking back at you in the mirror
Thanks for confirming your nature on Free Republic
What are you blathering about. Quit spouting nonsense
You’re delusional
Just because you say do doesn’t make it do
And where was any of that widely reported? Nowhere. You are just throwing crap at a wall
Very widely reported. Try to keep up.

They redirected their donations to Covenant House.
Covenant House was founded by a homo-pedo Priest and he ran it for the first 20 years.

And here is their CEO talking about how we should feel shame and embarrassment about race, and we should kneel and shine black guy’s shoes. He’s ON VIDEO doing it.

And that is the last research I do for you for very widely known things. This is not some obscure factoid.
Turns out you are the uninformed one spouting nonsense. LOL
LOL. What happened here is what happens every time. The Left discovered that Chick-Fil-A will cave if pressure is put on them. So they will continue putting pressure on them until they are nothing more than another high-donor mouthpiece for the political hard Left.
YUP; I actually liked their food, stopped going there when THEY CAVED TO THE HOMOAGENDA!
WILL NEVER GO AGAIN.
Your either with GOD or against him, there is no middle ground.
Just a coincidence
Don’t stalk posters.
Is this how you always act?
Go from thread to thread starting crap with anyone you please and then cry like a little lib when you get confronted with facts and figures that don’t line up with your twisted view of reality?
Just go away.
I would only troll people with some form of intelligence, and you ain’t it.
And I will warn anyone about you, if I coincidentally run into you.
Back in 2012, the Family Research Council spoke out in support of CFA.
That year, a man entered the FRC building "with the intent to murder as many people as possible and smear a Chick-fil-A sandwich in their faces. . . . The gunman was enraged by the nationwide Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day held two weeks before and used the SPLC's 'hate map' to identify FRC as his target. Despite being seriously wounded, the FRC building manager, Leo Johnson, heroically stopped the gunman. Dan Cathy, nor anyone with Chick-fil-A inquired about the well-being of Mr. Johnson or any of the FRC team members, but they made a donation to the SPLC which was linked in federal court to this act of domestic terrorism . . ."

You admit you are a stalker, your sole interest in this thread was stalking, and I don’t even know who you are or why.
But the rule is, no stalking, no carrying grudges from thread to thread, so discontinue doing it.
Well, CFA sure didn’t care about the black security guard at Family Research Council who was shot in the arm by a man who was angry about FRC’s support of CFA. See my post #92 above for more information.
This is the sponsor of the bill of this thread who won the election as a homosexual activist, he is doing this as a follow-up to the 2021 actions against Chick-fil-A by the New York homosexual activists.
Tony Simone Aims to Be Chelsea’s First LGBTQ Assemblymember
“Tony Simone has been a visible player, dating back 25 years, in LGBTQ, political, and non-profit circles in New York. He has worked on the staffs of the late State Senator Catherine Abate, former State Comptroller Carl McCall, and former City Council Speaker Christine Quinn; served on Hillary Clinton’s 2000 US Senate campaign and volunteered in Quinn’s several Council runs as well as her 2013 mayoral campaign; and worked at non-profits including People for the American Way and Hudson River Park Friends.”
“Simone supports the full decriminalization of sex work — an issue of growing importance on the LGBTQ rights agenda, but one that divides those advocating elimination of penalties only for those offering sex services from other activists who argue that only by removing sanctions for everyone engaged in the sex trade can the industry be made safer.
“What is about Chick-fil-A that absolutely drives so many on the Left to push for its destruction via periodic spasms of boycotts”
Because they already CAVED to the Left, and so the Leftists smell blood now.
Yep dead to me.
Obviously, this guy has an agenda to push. He’s not concerned about travelers. Personally, I think restaurants at rest stops should be open 24/7, but he just has a beef with Chick Fil A because of something the COO said more than a decade ago.
Clueless response! Businesses lease the space, but pay to install and upgrade to meet their brand standards. There is great cost to the vendor in addition to the lease. They provide a product that their consumers enjoy, so yes they built it.
The ultimate judge is the consumer. If Chik-fil-a business on the thruway was poor, there would be no point in offering their brand/product in this venue. It looks like this politician needs to get on his “eat more chiken” groove on Sundays because he hates that Christian thing “day of rest”.
Exactly!
