I just love watching people who raved about a companies ability to choose who they want to serve based of sexuality now cry when a private company chooses not to do business with someone for violating their platform rules.

Something tells me the story might be somewhat more complicated that she says in that post, but I have no idea. And no, I shouldn’t get involved.

They can’t. They have a right to sue. It doesn’t mean it has validity. I mean I guess they could get into contract issues depending on how’s it’s worded, but no...Amazon is not obligated to do business with someone they don’t want to

The irony... is this is exactly the Gay Cake Bakery suit but reversed. So should businesses get to choose or not? Left is calling the Right hypocritical in this regard, but the left is being just as hypocritical by standing up for the choice of the business in this case but the customer in the other case.

D1 what i really meant is that the judiciary branch enforcing (possibly) contract is not the same as government forcing someone to do something. But then I didn't want to get into an argument and all that. But thanks for jumping in to explain what I meant. You the real MVP

How does insurrection equate with religious preference. One is a choice the other a crime. Makes no sense.

It's America. "I'll see you in court" is basically a playground threat.

Parler's attorney in this matter (after their usual law firm dropped them) looks like someone they found in the Yellow Pages. Outside of a John Grisham novel, the likelihood of him getting anywhere in this suit against Amazon and it's legal team is tending close to zero.

And Parler may end up wearing Amazon's legal costs.

You’re forgetting that trump supporters are constantly fearing that the white straight status is getting closer to equalized with that of other people. It’s a complete invasion of the status quo they’ve been raised in where they are the norm. It doesn’t matter if it’s fair or not, if the other side is pushing for anything that isn’t white or straight, they’re in the wrong.

MC1 I think this is a big part of what animates many Trump voters. And they are right. The power of straight white people and especially straight white men is receding. I’m not rationalizing or justifying their reaction, which has been appalling. I think the changes are for the better and fully support them. But when any group loses part of its stuff they usually rebel. Think about what happens anytime anyone even mentions tweaking social security. This is similar although the thing that’s changing has been their way of life for millennia. Thus the cataclysm.

Im 35. Considering to start investing in Real Estate this year. Looking to buy 1 property to start generating cash flow, but most importantly, long term equity. No plans to sell. Condo or Single family residence. Considering booming areas like Austin, Vegas or somewhere with potential to grow. Will need local help, since I don’t live there (realtor + property manager). Already have 20% down, but considering putting less. All closing fees are also covered. Is this a good idea or should just wait?
