(19,497 posts)In many debates the employee is held-up as the singular concern of a business. If any libertarian were to be so foolish enough as to stick their head into DU and say something so crass as, "If you don't like the company policy, don't work there." they would -- rightfully -- be inundated by a chorus denouncing their crassness. They would be reminded that jobs are not easy to come by and many times people take jobs just to make ends meet rather than in pursuit of a chosen career.
But let a job owner express a deeply held belief and those employees -- by the tens of thousands -- become sacrificial lambs in the name of driving the one disesteemed person from society and informing that person's co-religionists that "Catholics need not apply" for corporate licensing.
