I mean, low taxes and all that, I get it, but if you're a company operating in TX...
- Are your including travel pay to out of state for women of childbearing age employees in the event they want to exercise their Constitutional Rights?
- Are your planning to import educated workers, or are you hiring the "sacks of hammers" TX Schools are going to create if they continue down this road?
- Will you employ LGBTQ workers, or minorities?
- How about firearms training so your employees can defend themselves against every concealed carry nut job in the state?
- Will your insurance cover medical costs when one of your LGBTQ workers gets the snot beat out of them for being LGBTQ?
- What will you say to your employees whose kid gets the shit beat out of them because they are different? "Just Don't Say Gay"???
Are tax breaks worth it?
Look, it's pretty fucking simple
"None of this will ever change. The racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy...NONE OF IT will change, unless and until we make racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy unprofitable to the corporations that fund it, and the people that enable it."
If you have looked at the political landscape in Texas, or Georgia, or West Virginia, or South Carolina, or Indiana, or Ohio, or Florida, and you've said; "thank you sir, may I have another", then you have shown what you are.
I remember that some big corporations were so outraged about the Georgia Voter Suppression Laws.
They were "outraged" all the way up until those laws passed, and 2 DAYS LATER, THEY WENT BACK TO DONATING TO THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS THAT PASSED THOSE LAWS!!!
Guess what? As long as it is profitable for corporations to support racism and fascism, they will continue to support racism and fascism.
