What Donald thinks or says about Carrier would have/has no impact on my view of Carrier, my willingness to service Carrier equipment for Carrier customers or change the way that I conduct business in general.(03-01-2018, 09:16 PM)Classic-Xer Wrote:(03-01-2018, 05:48 PM)Eric the Green Wrote: Good news indeed. Business is getting ahead of government on guns. It shows that some businessmen are able to come to their senses, and also reveals the abject failure so far of our government.
Business's are ignoring the law and establishing their own law. I didn't think Liberals would ever be willing to go for that and support it in any way.
Do you believe that businesses have the right to offer services and products they choose to offer, and not offer those they don't? That seems to be your position, which is odd for a businessman. If the Donald said that Carrier is anti-American (or maybe, just anti-Trump), would you cease selling or servicing Carrier products?
As for liberals, most of us are happy to see anything that resembles progress on gun control ... regardless of the source. The US has been held hostage by an intransigent GOP which has itself been held hostage by the NRA. When 97% of the people favor universal background checks, but they are never enacted, that's hostage taking.
I wonder how many of the 97% are aware of the background checks that are already in place and are aware that the background checks that were in place failed to stop any of the mass shootings that have occurred over the last two decades. How many red flags were ignored by high ranking blues associated with powerful offices like school administration, school faculty, local and county law enforcement, FBI, social services and so forth? You're a blue, how do you explain all the failures of blues that took place in a blue region of Florida. Would you view it as a confidence builder for liberal views, a lowering of faith in liberal views or a real life example of what the Reds have been telling the Blues for years?
