What's actually barbaric is forcing people to move away from their friends and family in their hometowns to come live in San Francisco where there's literally faeces in the streets and a shack costs $1M let alone a livable home wh

Using the word “evil” to describe these companies when today there are people literally dying from COVID19 because of the policies of their employers & governments seems like a lack of perspective to me. The framing of your question has

I'm always amused when people post racist comments and then claim "I'm not racist". Just own your racism. In my article, I specifically talk about Atlanta which is a "black city" as you term it. Atlanta is home
