Long and short... Delta stops offering a discount flight to NRA members.

Lieutenant Gov of Georgia decides that because of that, he will "kill any tax legislation that benefits @Delta unless the company changes its position and fully reinstates its relationship with @NRA."

So... unless a private company decides to offer a discount to a private organization (a discount no one else gets) the governors office of Georgia will interfere to ensure they can cost that private company as much as possible.

Their logic? that the NRA is representative of conservatives, and this is an attack on conservatives.

Utter bullsh#t.

Your analogy would be fine if the article had anything to do with delta not allowing NRA members to fly... or if they were charging more... or if the NRA were anything other than an organization you are free to enter into or leave...

you know... all of your analogy.

I agree, but it's not unlike certain states banning government business with North Carolina because of their bathroom law thingy a while back.
At the end of every excuse and reason and rebuttal is the simple fact that this is all partisan politics.

It stinks both ways.

Sounds like a d1ck waving fest to me. Personally, don't GAF, but for sh17s and giggles, I'll take the anti-Delta position.

If Delta had a previous arrangement with the NRA and decided to try and get more millennial businesss, that's a pretty sh177y thing to do.

As far as the Governor's position, I highly doubt he has the power to actually do anything to hurt Delta without screwing with the other airlines or other businesses... so in a sense, he's all bark and no bite... but it might sway conservatives who would otherwise fly Delta to pick a different flight.

Alright, that's the best I can do 😃

Partisan, yes. But not the same thing.

Delta has in no way shape or form infringed on any NRA members rights. They simply stopped offering a discount...

If a state government in a state which promotes transgender rights has to concern itself with those employees rights when they travel, then the "easy" (read partisan/news gathering) solution is to stop government business with said location.

This is literally the same thing as the state government coming down on delta if they got rid of the AARP discount. It's a f$$king discount. As in, apparently you would get X% off your plane ticket if you were an NRA member...

Buisnesses seldom make decisions based on anything other than their bottom line. Z, that's BS on your part. What this means if I interpret it correctly, which I might not be, is Delta thinks more people are pizzed at the NRA than look favorably at the NRA. But you consider everything a liberal conspiracy. I would be interested in what you have to say if you could back it up with some logic. Can you? Or do you only have bluster in your game today?

These companies have all waded into political waters and are discriminating against an advocate for a constitutional right.

The liberal agenda has switched from government bureaucrats doing the oppressing to corporate bureaucrats wielding the sword. The worm needs to turn.
