Replying to @bluestein
Some Republicans are already talking about ways to punish Delta, since there are a number of tax measures still pending on the final day of the session. It's akin to "Delta shooting us in the face with a shotgun without telling us it was coming," says a senior GOPer. #gapol

.@GovKemp on Delta’s stance:
“Today's statement by Delta CEO Ed Bastian stands in stark contrast to our conversations with the company, ignores the content of the new law, and unfortunately continues to spread the same false attacks being repeated by partisan activists.” #gapol

“Today's statement by Delta CEO Ed Bastian stands in stark contrast to our conversations with the company...” - Georgia Governor Kemp

Why is the Governor of Georgia having discussions about voting with the head of an airline?

And what, in particular, “stands in stark contrast” with what was discussed? What the hell did you two bastards discuss????????

But clearing 10% of your city to build the worlds largest airport isn't something that many cities are up to the task of doing.

It would be a $50 billion dollar project.

Delta called them out as the fascist they are.

That press release is whining about the truth. They all sound the same, but, but, but, I didn't get my way.

We've got flight credits and vaccines.

and Delta isn't about to drive passengers to the other airlines. Good for Delta.Democrats fly too.

I don't see this ending well for a bunch of stuffed shirts going up against a powerful corporation. And while corporations can kiss my ass, I'm looking forward to these two groups picnicking on each other...
