Yeah

2020-11-14 00:18:27 UTC  

Imagine being so narrow minded

2020-11-14 00:19:59 UTC  

Did you see USA today's article that said people who work from home should pay "Privilege Tax?"

2020-11-14 00:20:20 UTC  

That is the most retarded thing

2020-11-14 00:20:33 UTC  

I was floored.

2020-11-14 00:21:03 UTC  

Some people need to go to work because they physically cant do their jobs at home

2020-11-14 00:21:47 UTC  

I'm pretty sure if an engineer could weld a 50 ft frame together in his apartment they'd let him stay home but that isn't exactly how life works

2020-11-14 00:23:19 UTC  

Theres no way to track that

2020-11-14 00:23:26 UTC  

Exactly, apparently that tax would support people who couldn't work from home, but it's just the government being selfish.

2020-11-14 00:24:35 UTC  

Hi

2020-11-14 00:25:37 UTC  

Did you guys see that horrible stupid advertisement from ubereats?

2020-11-14 00:25:58 UTC  

They basically get a James Charles copy make him an acrobatic or something for the advertisement and then play to complete stereotypes of the homosexual community

2020-11-14 00:26:30 UTC  

Throat all of the gay people at my high school, and including myself, nobody gives a crap about dancing or makeup. And a majority of the people I talked to at my school who are gay, hate having to deal with such stupid advertisements

2020-11-14 00:27:07 UTC  

Either they're trying to make an appeal to the lgbtq + community, which is completely stupid. They're trying to sell their product in a strange and new way, which makes sense but it's still stupid how they decide to do it. Or they're mocking the homosexual community and using their advertisement as a way to spread hate

2020-11-14 00:27:23 UTC  

I'm guessing it's just another one of your stereotypical companies wanting to make a false appeal to the lgbtq community so they can get more money

2020-11-14 00:27:36 UTC  

That's not how capitalism should work. They should appeal to Everyday People not a specific Community that's how they should get their money

2020-11-14 00:28:05 UTC  

I totally agree.

2020-11-14 00:30:49 UTC  

I'm fully for capitalism, but they shouldn't be specifically trying to appeal to the lgbtq community just so that they can get political correctness points

2020-11-14 00:31:09 UTC  

If you're going to be selling your product to a specific community, in a capitalist country, it should be because you want to make money not because you want the media to look at you favorably

2020-11-14 00:31:48 UTC  

Meh they're just looking to penetrate into new markets, gay or otherwise. pun intended

2020-11-14 00:32:03 UTC  

I see that pun, and I give you credit for it

2020-11-14 00:32:45 UTC  

For example, don't try to sell a product to me because I'm gay, try to sell it to me because I'm Possible consumer.

2020-11-14 00:33:07 UTC  

My sexual orientation does not affect how I see a business, but if you're specifically making it about sexual orientation I'm more likely to buy a different product or take my business elsewhere. Because that's my right as the consumer

2020-11-14 00:33:18 UTC  

They also know which markets contain (typically) which types of people

2020-11-14 00:33:30 UTC  

The way I see it,

2020-11-14 00:34:02 UTC  

I don't want to have a company try and sell me a product because I'm gay, white, or anything like that. I want them to try and sell me a product because they want to make money, and it's possibly a product I'm interested in.

2020-11-14 00:34:13 UTC  

Not because they want political correctness points so they could easily try and sway the media or use their influence

2020-11-14 00:34:22 UTC  

I mean, I’m more likely to buy goya beans cause they back trump.

2020-11-14 00:34:38 UTC  

Here in Canada,

2020-11-14 00:34:41 UTC  

Not entirely what you are saying, but it does affect things a but I’m sure

2020-11-14 00:34:58 UTC  

We don't really have any major company that I know of that really makes themselves overly political unless it's on Twitter

2020-11-14 00:35:10 UTC  

Twitter is the place where companies are both born and died and where political correctness is monitored on a scale

2020-11-14 00:35:26 UTC  

Imagine if you would, if Twitter had a public policy of you having to make at least one politically correct statement a month or you get your account banned

2020-11-14 00:36:02 UTC  

Yeah I mean I'm with ya I don't like pandering either

2020-11-14 00:36:11 UTC  

> Imagine if you would, if Twitter had a public policy of you having to make at least one politically correct statement a month or you get your account banned
@Gene. Rod Sterling vibe in that line

2020-11-14 00:36:22 UTC  

At least then they would be open about it.

2020-11-14 00:36:30 UTC  

Personally I'd prefer companies stay outta politics and culture in general

2020-11-14 00:36:42 UTC  

I don't have a problem with them giving out their opinions or whatever,

2020-11-14 00:36:54 UTC  

What companies should be made about making money and customer satisfaction if they decide to take that route

2020-11-14 00:37:05 UTC  

It should never be made about political correctness we're trying to get new deals because of how politically correct you are

2020-11-14 00:37:23 UTC  

Isn't that the same thing tho?
