- alexqgb 15y agoBingo. Also, "fiduciary responsibility" can justify absolutely anything, provided your timeframe is short enough. Bouncing paychecks, for instance, will do wonders for a company's cash position - provided your business plans don't extend further than the middle of next week.
- fleitz 15y agoWhy is getting paid to express an opinion morally questionable? When GLAAD's members pay them to express positions in support of gay rights, is that morally questionable? Or is it only morally questionable when they express opinions that you do not like? I suspect the conversation between GLAAD, AT&T, and their membership will go something like this: Members: You're losing $500K per year GLAAD: AT&T can you match this? AT&T: Will $600K suffice? GLAAD: OK.
- rbanffy 15y agoThey are not only paid to express opinions, but to credibly do it. When they throw their credibility out the window by accepting money to express anything, they cease to be effective in supporting gay and lesbian interests.
