My wife worked in the event planning industry - the few unionized venues she had to deal with were a huge pain loaded with restrictions. As a client you couldn't even move a table by yourself on the spot - a union employee had to do it

Same reason why Amazon can cut service to Parler. The First Amendment guarantees the right for private companies to govern their own properties, literature, and procedures. If you do not like it you may criticize them publicly, boycott thei

Twitter was filled with edgy material and dark humor in 2009-2011, and Facebook's main draw was pre-woke-era college kids being drunk or trying to be clever (or both). They get to be the big incumbents now but they probably wouldn&#x27
