100 corporate leaders to discuss state voting laws

[livingston]

More than 100 of the nation's top corporate leaders met virtually on Saturday to discuss ways for companies to continue responding to the passage of more restrictive voting laws across the country, a signal that the nation's premier businesses are preparing a far more robust, organized response to the ongoing debate
With some CEOs chiming in from Augusta National Golf Club, site of the Masters golf tournament, attendees on the high-level Zoom call included leaders from the health care, media and transportation sectors and some of the nation's leading law and investment firms.
The corporate leaders "recognize that they need to step up to the plate and are not fearful of these reprisals," he added. "They're showing a disdain for these political attacks. Not only are they fortifying each other, but they see that this spreading of disease of voter restrictions from Georgia to up to possibly 46 other states is based on a false premise and its' anti-democratic."

Organizers also stressed that the meeting was being put together long before Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell denounced companies' reactions to Georgia's law.

Corporate leaders...enough said.

 

[Deplorable Me]

It's all about corporate profits for big corporations. Virtue signaling at its best.

 

[SomeSoldier]

Shouldn't this be considered interference in our elections?

And if you bring up corporations have Constitutional rights then you should be able to put them in prision when they do wrong. And if you ask who should go to prison? The buck stops at the top CEO, president, all board members, and/or C suite people.

I'm a little slow this morning. Why should anyone give two fucks what corporate leaders think about setting things up as to limit voter fraud?

They are all about encouraging voter fraud.. These folks want to kill any thought of voter ID laws for example. Showing an ID to vote ... Racist ... So they say . The same folks have no qualms about showing an ID to buy booze.

It's not that I'm not concerned about what's going on. I was just saying corporate leaders should mean as much to the voting process as the price of butter going up in India.

Ok, then the legislatures of the affected states should immediately repeal absolutely every corporate welfare loophole on their books. Hit them where they live.

I too am wondering just why corporate leaders are getting together to discuss this topic since it is none of their business.

Then a thought entered my head. There was a phrase I remembered when reading a biography of Hitler. After he became chancellor and steadily increased his power he co-opted a lot of the businesses and society in general. After a while he actually didn't have to make orders or hand down edicts because the underlings knew what he wanted. The phrase was coined "working towards the fuhrer" and it described how people internalized the wishes of the fascist regime and did things without being ordered.

For some reason this meeting of corporate leaders reminded of that phrase. Biden and the democrats don't have to tell them what to do. They simply agree with their goals and are going to do what they can to work towards those goals. Instead of "working towards the fuhrer" we get "working towards the senile old fool that is the front man for a bunch of fascist wannabes." I agree it doesn't roll off the tongue in the same way.

Hmmm....

The commie democrats and corporations partnering to suppress opposition to their authoritarian control of society.

But we're the fascists.

[Saltwater60]

I think they should just worry about their corporations.

@SomeSoldier See post #9 above. I clarified.

Didn't take it that way. Took it as fuck corporations and then made it sound more so.

What I meant by my comment was corporate leaders should have no say in the election process. That's all.

The concept of "working towards the funded" came from probably the greatest scholar on Hitler and Nazi Germany, Sir Ian Kershaw.

A good precise - Ian Kershaw - The "Working Towards The Führer" Concept | Working Führer Concept

His monumental 2-volume biography of Hitler - subtitled "Nemesis" and "Hubris" - is required reading for anyone with more than a passing interest. I've studied Hitler and the Nazis since I was 12 years old and was stunned by the thoroughnesss and depth of his analysis.

Indeed, the fUSA is rapidly becoming a fascist-corporate state. It is good to remember that fascism is a type of socialism, regardless of what the Marxist shitweasels say.

The wealthy and powerful have done their best to sway elections to their benefit for generations. This is nothing new. Now it appears they've skipped from swaying an election to outright deciding its outcome. Keep taking away the small freedoms the peasants enjoy and see what happens.

This Must read has plagued my thoughts for years

These truths and lessons my dear great-grandchildren...

Listen for the truth in your heart, look for the truths of the past and believe in a God that allowed America to rise in the first place as a beacon of hope...

How can you be afraid of reprisals when you have enough money to live comfortably for the rest of your life, in the bank?

How about they start living paycheck to paycheck first, and then we talk? Then we can talk about not being afraid to speak their minds when they're choosing between food on the plate for their families, and their personal ethics.

So brave. So, so brave that people in power aren't scared of doing what they want. So brave. *world's smallest violin*
