SMH Please make this happen http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...r-delta-after-airline-cuts-ties-with-nra.html
I thought you were being sensationalist then I read this "I will kill any tax legislation that benefits @Delta unless the company changes its position and fully reinstates its relationship with the @NRA,” Cagle, who heads the Georgia State Senate, tweeted on Monday. “Corporations cannot attack conservatives and expect us not to fight back.” I dont even know what this is called but there is a word for this. wow. It is super strange and eery and tells me how f**ucked up govt and this guy are. Im getting really tired of the ultimate baby tactics and low brow moves like this. They talk about helping business then they want to penalize a business in THEIR OWN state with 33k employees over pettiness? This thread is unbelievable and i hope it is fake news
Legislators have the right to repeal or instate tax incentives to industry groups or individual businesses. I'm a little loathe to evaluate this decision in the vacuum of a separate single political issue.
13 people used the discount in its entire history. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...ra-dispute-costs-georgia-tax-break/388587002/ Georgia Republicans making $40,000,000 decisions over 13 discounted airfare tickets.
They've already said ATL is their home. As much as I'd love to see the Republicans regret their decision, I live in GA and have friends that work for Delta. I'm also glad to be getting the tax dollars for my state.
Never say never, this is just one strike against Georgia, so the chance of something happen is extremely small. Management change, demographics shift, no one can predict future.
You're loathe to evaluate when a politician openly extorts a private entity for not supporting their preferred political position? You're loathe to say a government body openly stating "we will give you $40million if you promote the NRA" is problematic?
