The same corporation that says voter IDs are “racist” requires a photo ID to board a domestic flight.

Lucky for American Airlines that most airline passengers are black, brown, gang bangers and recent illegals.../s

“I was pretty pro-business in my youth but now they are the enemy.”

Corporations generally speaking don’t really care much about politics, they’their goal is the bottom line and to do so with as little pain as possible.

So if one end of the political spectrum threatens their bottom line more than the other end, and especially if that same side is willing and equipped to make the lives of the people running the company a living hell, while the other side (us) sits on our asses and don’t bother them, guess which side they’re going to appease? Which side would you appease?

So if we want to have corporations be our side again we have to become activists and cause these CEOs even more pain than what the left is doing.

I don’t expect that to happen anytime soon. It’s not in our genes, whereas for leftists is as natural as drinking water.

Though, I do see some signs of that, with the Georgia legislature handing out some real punishment to Delta. Ww need much more of that.

So American Airlines is saying the requirements that their pilots have valid identification is unacceptable? Are they flying planes right now with pilots who are not certified?

...that passengers have valid identification is unacceptable? Is American Airlines allowing passengers on their planes without a valid ID?

...that their Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) mechanics have valid identification is unacceptable? Is American Airlines flying planes right now that have repair work done by unlicensed A&P mechanics?

...that safety inspectors working for American Airlines have valid identification is unacceptable?

...that the armed Air Marshals on American Airlines flights have valid identification is unacceptable?

...that Air Traffic Controllers have valid identification is unacceptable?

...that their ground crews have valid identification to access secure airport areas are unacceptable? Do they have terrorists using fake American Airlines badges to access airports?

How about votes within the pilots union? Do the pilots need to be pilots and have a union ID in order to vote in the union?

How about American Airlines Board? Do they have to be valid members of the Board to vote on decisions affecting the stockholders or can they be any illegal or fake person voting?

How about the rest of American Airlines employees? Are they hiring individuals without valid IDs? Can I claim a paycheck from American Airlines without an ID?

How about the financial reports filed with the Securities Exchange Commission? Has American Airlines submitted financial reports without authentic validation?

American Airlines is nothing but mere HYPOCRITES.

But you are wasting your time if you complain "That's racist!" to the person checking your ID; he's just following orders. You need to get in the face of the (never available) individual who GIVES THE ORDERS.

Need to point out that Alky Airlines is Corrupt AF and supports voter fraud and race baiting by insisting that voter IDs are “racist” while they themselves require secured IDs in order to travel or get work.

Corporations were taken over by Leftist parasites a long time ago (after the Vietnam War).

They suck it dry from within, promote their own, and are a seditious lot.

And none of these companies mention the software issue.

Go figure.

That is true, but they have done so by using the tactics I described. But it’s not either it is both.

I’m sure Delta’s management would have preferred to stay out of this, but faced with the real threat from the left they decided to throw some meat at the alligators.

What would you have done if you had a group of hyenas ready to make your life a living hell?

American Airlines is for vote fraud and attempts to bully states. Will ruin their reputation for the cause. Are libtards.

Amazing how it has totally inverted now. The left entirely trusts the government and the mega corporations. A total reversal has occurred. Many in opposition to this leftist fascism are slow to recognize that these business hate everything about conservatives and libertarians. I still see people on here make stupid 1980’s arguments about big corporations.

It’s like they don’t realize the shift that has taken place.

30 years ago they would PAY OFF Rev. Al Sharpton and he would take his shakedown money and LEAVE without fixing whatever he was complaining about.

Same grift. Only bigger now.

Call in the Feds. This is racketeering. Put THEM in the pokey.

Call in the feds so they can get their cut? Because there is no way they will do anything to stop it.

I have no problem with Biden’s proposal to raise the corporate income tax. These corporations have chosen sides now make them suffer.

As a retired business owner, I can assure you that corporations get all their money from their customers. If the gvt raises a corporation's tax rate, where will the corporation get the money for increased taxes? Please see my tagline for the Reader's Digest version of the answer.

“30 years ago they would PAY OFF Rev. Al Sharpton and he would take his shakedown money and LEAVE without fixing whatever he was complaining about.”

They did more than just take the money, they also forced corporation to institutionize their demands such as affirmative action hiring, by creating permanent “social justice” departments within the companies to insure that their demands are carried out.

That is why you see so many blacks in ads, commercials and TV shows. And now they’re clamoring for affirmative action in awards such as Oscars. A martian who just landed and turned on a TV, he would come to the conclusion that blacks are the majority and the smart ones and whites the step and fetch’em minority.

They deserve a lot of “credit” for what we see everyday. We like to make fun of them, but they have been very effective at what they do, and whites have been so well trained by now that when they jump, we say how high.
