Awesome! Companies pushing back against the far-left is a sign that rejection of the far-left is becoming a socially acceptable viewpoint. About time.

I don't know that this is a great example though since John Schnatter was pushed out of his own company.

yeah, companies pushing back against the left: goya and a papa johns CEO who doesn't work there anymore. Not a huge coalition.

I remember when the ACA (Obamacare) was being debated in Congress and Schnatter said something about how providing healthcare to all employees would increase the cost of pizza by some trivial amount (11 to 14 cents apparently), and he was railing against it. Reddit fucking hated him for that.

that's a problem with capitalism, on a large scale that 11 to 14 cents per pizza becomes a billion dollars for shareholders.

Yup. Capitalism eventually turns into a corportocracy of cronyist oligarchs sucking up every last penny until your children and your children's children are poor and homeless.
