Businesses are mostly concerned with the short term.


Yeah, I was vaguely aware of that. Texas is not a safe state to step foot in, particularly for kids.


So they allow child abuse in Texas? Christianity = child abuse. Spare the rod, spoil the child. Beat the little ones with a rod to save their souls from Sheol.


As long as they don’t mention the bible or religion, they seem to think that meets the standard of Separation of Church and State, while they seem otherwise free to force their biblical ideas of sex and gender on the populace.


Scapegoating an 85-year old retiree? Not a good look.


Religious demographics of Louisiana, 74% Christian, 4% other religions, 21% unaffiliated, according to Pew Research. Wanna take bets that mob had a high percentage of Christians? Would beating a couple of transgenders in the park be new testament treatment, or old testament? I’m thinking the latter…


Meanwhile, in my country, the US government gives tax credits for children. No kids? No tax credits.


Is it legal for a service to be called private when it is programmatically shared with law enforcement?


Oh, I went to Christian private schools, I’ve had my fill of their BS. “Preach the new testament, practice the old.” That’s Christianity in a nutshell.


There are so many phrasing variants depending on translation. Do we believe the bible, or the actions of people who claim to be Christians? Many Christian parents have historically interpreted the bible advocacy not as metaphor for instruction, but of severe physical discipline and corporal punishment. 2000 years surely is long enough for Christians to refine their game to your gentler and kinder interpretation, yes?

I understand ACLU, Public Counsel, and United Farm Workers have filed lawsuits against ICE actions in California. Feel free to search for more info!


What a travesty. It’s not surprising that a religion that advocates beating children (Proverbs 13:24 & 20:30) would not want to report parents who abuse children.


Voters can stop the executive branch.


Of the lawsuits filed by companies where the plaintiff could be identified, 38% were brought by eight parent corporations: Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Mondelēz, Kellogg’s, Danone, Ferrero, Xignux and Heartland Food Products Group.
The company founded by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg? He advocated a bland diet, but was also involved in the eugenics movement.


I keep wondering about the defamation Hearn experienced.


The bank bailout was signed into law by GW Bush.


Wow. Thank you for a well reasoned response. I do consider war and loss of life on a different level of seriousness versus lack of reporting. Perhaps this is a contributing factor to why some countries lack a free press.


These are some of the communities I was and still am subscribed to: World News, World News@quokk.au, news@lemmings.world, Global News@lemmy.zip, News, United States | News & Politics@midwest. I am trying my best to avoid giving reddit any personal traffic.


Because I’m tied up installing a new operating system, with lots of major headaches. I’m just taking a break from it.
Why don’t workers see them coming back?
