So you want corporations having this much sway over our legislation? Are you American? 

Who's swaying legislation?  Every business has the right to move if they don't like something.  I remember you all thinking it was awesome when businesses were leaving California.  Is it only acceptable when you agree with it?

Leaving because of taxes and regulations that affect the business. Yeah, it’s the same. Was this voting law costing MLB money? No.  Bit of a difference. They are making a political statement.

Thpresident came out again yesterday comparing this election dealings to Jim Crow legislation. So, creepy joey is making it a country wide thing.

Why is non violent protest bothering you so much?

I don't care where the game is.  But our country is boiling a frog and this is adding another degree.  The woke orthodoxy is a religion which wields increasing power, approaching puritan times.  Failure to worship it is not allowed.

Perhaps tomorrow Iowa will enact some law which catches the woke eye of Mordor, and Collins or General Mills will start to pull out of Cedar Rapids.  Won't matter to me, but perhaps you will care then?

I said that I thought it was dumb for MLB to move the game.  Do you all just ignore the parts of my posts where I agree with you and just make up your own arguments?  If a major company left Iowa because of some law they disagreed with I would find it stupid.  Unless that law effected their business directly, I think it's stupid to make that move.  I will also say that the business has a right to do what they feel is right for them.  If General Mills moved from the state and they had my favorite product, I wouldn't stop buying it.

It's not.  Just find it petty and hypocritical of many people.

The point isn't this specific law, the point is social media, corporate media, and big business strong-arming state legislatures.  It's bullshit.  Basically, we are now officially governed by the unelected.  

And this is just the beginning.

The Left owns thought, they own speech, they own us.  That's reality.  This sh!t is over with.  They will continue to clamp down little by little until this country is molded into exactly what they want it to be.

And what they want is Chinese style control. Multinational corporations hate capitalism.

Georgia vs Colorado Voter Laws

 

In Georgia, people who want to vote by mail must apply, and the new law more than halves the time they have to do that: Previously, they could apply as much as 180 days before an election, but now no more than 78 days before. Georgia also forbids officials to send voters an absentee ballot application unless they request it.
In Colorado, every registered voter receives a mail ballot by default.

 

In Georgia, the deadline to register to vote is a month before Election Day, and under the new law, the same deadline applies to any runoff — meaning if a Georgian is not registered by the deadline for the first election, they cannot subsequently register to vote in the runoff.
In Colorado, eligible voters can register anytime, including on Election Day.

 

In Georgia, only photo identification is acceptable for regular mail-in ballots, and it has to be one of six specific types. The requirement will apply to everyone who votes by mail, not just to newly registered voters as in Colorado.
In Colorado, only newly registered voters have to provide identification with their mail-in ballot; for subsequent elections, all that’s required is their signature. And there is no photo requirement: Voters can use a birth certificate, a naturalization document, a Medicare or Medicaid card, a utility bill, a bank statement, a paycheck or another government document that shows their name and address.
 

In Georgia, the new law requires at least one drop box in each of the 159 counties. The boxes will be only at registrars’ and absentee ballot clerks’ offices or inside early-voting sites, and open during limited hours. And, instead of being outdoors with 24-hour access, as many in Colorado are, the Georgia boxes must be inside government buildings and voting sites.

In Colorado, there were 368 ballot drop boxes last year across the state’s 64 counties, not just in government buildings but also at schools, parks, libraries, businesses and more. Boxes were open 24 hours a day.

I agree with GA's laws more than CO's.

And yet white people have no problem voting.

The NCAA is pulling a similar stunt regarding transgenders in sports.  This country has lost its damn mind and we deserve every bad thing that's coming our way.
