Sixty-five companies including Apple, Capital One, Google, Ikea, Johnson & Johnson, LinkedIn, Macy's, Microsoft, PayPal, and Yahoo signed the open letter. "Discrimination is bad for business" the headline read in an advertisement in Friday's The Dallas Morning News newspaper.

"Our companies do business, create jobs, and serve customers in Texas. We are committed to building inclusive environments where our employees can thrive inside and outside of the workplace," the letter said. "For years we have stood to ensure LGBTQ+ people — our employees, customers, and their families — are safe and welcomed in the communities where we do business."

The companies went on to "call on our public leaders — in Texas and across the country — to abandon efforts to write discrimination into law and policy. It's not just wrong, it has an impact on our employees, our customers, their families, and our work."

Empty words. Now if the companies started to leave...that will make a difference. Texans, as a whole, use the excuse "well that isn't what feel or support" but refuse to elect new representatives. That means they also believe in saying sorry but not changing their actions

65? As compared to the millions of companies currently doing business in Texas let along the entire USA?


Don't be stupid and think this means anything other than virtue signalling.

Of course it's virtue signaling, but it can also mean something. The number of companies matters less than their size.

It worked in Atlanta.

Interesting. Many of these companies are forcing CRT-based training on their employees, an ideology that demands the practice of discrimination be made widespread. If it's bad for business, why are they thumping the tub for it?

Any business that does not approve of TX laws is free to complain and free to leave.

Yeah, that worked out SOOOOOO well for Atlanta businesses.


LOL.

It did. Coke stayed and MLK was honored.

I seriously doubt this will have any effect on the reality of business in the Texas market. These are just woke businesses virtue signaling their leftist values.

I suspect it's the size of the Texas market that will prevail.

There is simply no denying it, Pecky.

And the city lost millions in revenue after the playoffs were moved to "a more woke location."

Tell us again; how does that benefit the citizens of Atlanta?
