Overturning Roe is just the cost of doing business for some companies.

Andrew Ross Sorkin on MJ said he talked with lots of CEOs about the SC decision. Corporate HQs to red states to lower costs. They did not like the ruling but to a person they will not leave the red states.

“It’s the cost of doing business.”


Ok! Let’s teach you about cost!

Some companies that primarily support republicans:

Mentioned above:

Target. Coachella. Taco Bell. Urban Outfitters. Angel Soft. Wendy’s. Applebees. Marriot Hotels and Resorts. White Castle. Wonderbread. Arbies. Applebees. Walmart (duh). Outback Steakhouse. Red Lobster. Waffle House. Carl’s Jr. Home Depot. Chick-fil-A.

So many more companies and their parent corporations. So many to skewer!

Best signs from women's marches

This was 5 years ago but still very apt now, unfortunately. I couldn’t grab any of the pictures.

I like the one that says “I’m so mad I stitched this just so I could stab something 3000 times.”

So republicans are bracing for fallout from Roe ruling. They should be.

Snip:

This is not a conversation we want to have,” said John Thomas, a Republican strategist who works on House campaigns across the country. “We want to have a conversation about the economy. We want to have a conversation about Joe Biden, about pretty much anything else besides Roe … This is a losing issue for Republicans.”

The decision, issued Friday, was a landmark victory for conservatives who have held up overturning Roe as an ambition of near-biblical significance, fundraising, organizing and legislating off opposition to abortion rights for nearly half a century.

But it’s a victory that will almost certainly come at a cost. In Republican circles, a consensus has been forming for weeks that the court’s overturning of a significant — and highly popular — precedent on a deeply felt issue will be a liability for the party in the midterms and beyond, undercutting Republicans to at least some degree with moderates and suburban women.

“The only thing [Democrats] have got going for them is the Roe thing, which is what, 40 years of settled law that will be changed that will cause some societal consternation,” said the former congressman, granted anonymity to speak candidly. “And can they turn that into some turnout? I think the answer is probably ‘Yes.’”

I think they are wrong! If there are any women who aren’t paying attention (why do these idiot men think women won’t care about this) they have 4 months to have a mishap in their sexual lives to realize they are no more than property and their bodies no longer belong to them.

Game on!!
