For the recently fired president of Levis, freedom of expression is worth more than one million dollars. She poignantly describes all of what is wrong with our views on free expression. Government, companies, institutions , sports, high tech, education and more are all in lockstep with Levis. No society can ever succeed or survive with suppressed speech and ideas.

Does this story count as "free expression"?
Cynthia Perkins takes plea deal in child sex crimes case, must testify against her ex-husband

Of course it was an economic decision. How on earth was it not?
I do not ascribe to boycotts, if chicken were edible I would have no problem going to Chick-fil-A. But more and more people are using their dollars to support their politics. We see it all over America today. All over the world, it isn't just an American issue.
She said she was told there was external pressure. Who do you think was applying that pressure, and how. Of course it was economic, that is what corporations respond to.
I can honestly say then educate me on it. Because I am not sure what “strings are attached” to it. I live in a state where no proof of ID is required to vote. Not sure what you are referring to that’s being manipulated, but it’s really simple. Pass a bill that says you must be a citizen of this country and have a valid Id to vote. How hard is that?
That’s yesterdays news. Woke capitalism is not about increasing the bottom line, it’s about force feeding a point of view. The list of other states California boycotts is a long one. MLB, the NFL, and some of our largest F 500’s announced or threatened boycotts for similar reasons. Now corporations and institutions are boycotting people. This is all intended to stifle speech and open debate.
We’ve had this discussion. And I’ve done a 180. Chik Fil-A is trash. Good service though.
First it sounds like Marv doesn’t even eat chicken. But how is CFA trash? You can’t benchmark it against St Elmos
I've had certain gastrointestinal issues that only happen after Chik-Fil-A.....I can go into detail if needed.
Plus, their fries are now, to me, the food equivalent of nails on a chalkboard. But, it's food. Which, like music, is subjective.
Not really. Usually it's just me saying "why did I get talked into Chik Fil A again".
I have literally now ceased any consumption. My wife and daughter will stop and pick shit up and, at this point, I'm pretty sure they're trolling me.
Drive slowly. Let loose with your GI issue in the car. That should stop all future trolling, and you can say "I told you so".
Success matters.
Kaepernick was done as a player.
He knew it.
The NFL GMs knew it.
End of story.
Full circle. The school board recall shows that Levis was on the wrong side of Sey’s issue, assuming Levis intended to support the majority of the public and customers. If its intent was to support the woke message regardless of how widely it’s held, It’s wrong side of the issue is vindicated. I suspect Levis wants to be Woke as it separates itself from us Rubes.
The entire point is that a highly accomplished and effective woman, instrumental in the growth and profitability of a Corp with global reach, was forced out of that organization by wokemunism.
She checked every box!
1. Woman
2. Mother of 2
3. Divorced
4. Remarried
5. Inter-racial marriage (2 mixed kids)
6. Social Activist
None of that really matters to wokemunists.
ANY sign of independence or critical thought brings instant retribution.
Stay between the lines.
The lines are your friend.
Your only friend.
Many Liberal (classical) essayists have moved their content into the Substack platform.

I believe Taibbi has content there.
Negative. I just looked them up. You can get skinny jeans wranglers. That's cul de sac cowboy stuff. Like that fake McGraw and his fake wife on 1883 acting like pioneers. Sam Elliot should be ashamed!
Oh no. There's an entire circle of hell for Taco Bell. Right below White Castle.
If you never wore the Toughskins with the reinforced knees as a kid, we can't be friends anymore.
Here is a current review of the modern ones:

Not as good as the old Tough Skin Jeans
These are not like the original Tough Skin jeans. Those jeans had knee patches on the inside of the jeans and were a lot thicker material. These jeans are thinner too
All I know is that once whoever made jeans flexible should be knighted/canonized/exalted
Yeah that's the real deal. Looks like Bass Pro Shop sells something called RedHead jeans. $19.99. Pretty legit looking too
My problem with chicken is personal. I ate chicken when I was young, up until 10. That is when my mom died. All of our friends made food for us after her death, and pretty much everyone made fried chicken. The refrigerator was packed with chicken. Even now when I try chicken, the taste doesn't bother me. But something about the texture or who knows what drives me completely crazy. I can't stand it. My cheap psychoanalysis is that I associate chicken with her death which is why this long story. But who knows, maybe it is something else. But I do know when I was very young I ate chicken, and I stopped about that time.

Beef>pork>turkey>spanish inquisition>chicken.
Nah, I'm thinking it has to do with its place in the sentence.
