Can you elaborate on how freedoms of US citizens were reduced in this scenario?
- 75dvtwin 7y agoSure, WRT my comment: > Overall at the end, the result will be that freedoms of the citizens of USA will get reduced, whichever side wins. US Gov will likely start blacklisting of companies and business associated of companies that succomb to this behavior. This, overall will shift billions of dollars to a fewer set of companies. Anytime, power is concentrated in several mega-corps, ability to compete freely is reduced. Fewer choices for paths of economic progress, fewer freedoms. I am also almost 100% sure any new contract with US Gov will include clauses that will address this in a way, that doing govtech, and hiring contractors/employees for govtech businesses will be even harder. -- Alternatively, if the mob justice wins -- then hiring/firing people based on their views on Immigration/Abortion/Religions Freedoms/etc -- will be the norm. Either way, US citizens loose.... That was my point.
- commandlinefan 7y ago> hiring/firing people based on their views on Immigration/Abortion/Religions Freedoms/etc Honestly, that was my first thought - it’s entirely possible that the same people who pressured Chef in this case will start pressuring companies that hire anybody who, say, had worked with ICE in the past.
- minimaxir 7y agoThat has happened long before Chef: for example, Amazon has been on fire for their facial recognition contracts w/ ICE. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/07/12/no-tech-ice-protesters-demand-amazon-cut-ties-with-federal-immigration-enforcement/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/07/12/no-tech-i... Protesting company decisions is a American right.
