Tearing apart families and banning large groups of Muslims from entering or returning to the USA also rubs me the wrong way.

- vilified_throw 10y agoOf course you're completely entitled to voice your opinion personally. However, these founders using their company as a political soapbox is the issue.
- mildbow 10y agoAs they are entitled to do :)
- jpnelson 10y agoYou don't need to abstract this to that extent. You might be able to say in most cases it's a bad idea to use your company to express a political opinion, which I agree with, but this is going beyond that – this is a human rights issue. In terms of "tearing apart groups of people", like you might do by voicing a political comment that your company partly disagrees with, I think that this particular ruling tears people apart to a much larger degree.

- koolba 10y agoArguably providing visas for only a part of a family (say the breadwinner) and having that person move halfway across the world tears up families. By that logic not having that option is "keeping families together".
- r00fus 10y agoIt's a matter of agency - in one case, the breadwinner can choose to move here, in another, there is no choice, and (what's really got most people in arms) is that it was not future-dated, like most impactful legislation is. It feels like the summary judgement of a dictator or king, not a republic or democracy. Tell me again, which one do we live in?
