He's a fascist dictator, not a communist one. And when the 'titans of industry' care more about their bottom line than democratic principles, that's a sign to rally against them, not frame one's argument with an echo of McCarthyism.

When ICE is violently attacking civilians, there's nothing controversial about naming and shaming the fascists involved.

The cruelty of right wing fascists and racists is beyond words.

The cartels wouldn't be nearly as powerful if American gun companies weren't producing so many guns, knowing full well where they're ending up and how they're being used.

In any case, talking about Mexico's cartels is just Republicans trying to distract the public from their own white supremacist, bigoted, transphobic, and xenophobic policies that make them far more dangerous terrorists than all the Mexican cartels combined.

Defending a country's territorial integrity is not defiant; if anything, the country threatening that integrity is the one acting in a reckless, defiant, and dangerous manner.

An odd way to state that African Americans have disproportionately high amounts of medical debt; if anything, it's an indicator of unequal access to economic opportunities that let people afford expensive medical treatments.

Therefore, rather than shifting the narrative into one of handouts, a better solution would be to make progress on reducing the country's inflated medical costs—the result of capitalism being applied to the inelastic demand for essential medical services.

As with corporate mediators though, wouldn't such investigation companies have a financial incentive to favor their clients, so as to improve the odds of being rehired?

Trapping hard-working H-1B immigrants—who are already (relative to American citizens without a visa at stake) in a weak bargaining position regarding salary increases—in the country unless their employers pay a $100,000 bribe is such a despicable thing to do.

Edit: As a reply pointed out, the law mandates that such employees be paid at par with other employees. Despite this, the dependence on the benevolence of one's employer to remain in the country, in addition to the filing fees associated with any job transfer, already puts such employees at an inherent disadvantage.

Their decisions seem to conveniently become 'mistakes' whenever there's public backlash...

The article seems much closer to a PepsiCo marketing piece than proper journalism.

We can celebrate if and when they're actually reinstated and the people who put them out of a job are put out of a job themselves.

Sounds like just another distraction from meaningful issues, given that actual eggs from Canada and Mexico are being turned away.

Anyone working at Fox News who thinks they're involved in reputable journalism clearly doesn't have the objectivity needed for proper reporting.

The federal government is claiming the FBI has exclusive jurisdiction over the investigation in an attempt to prevent Minnesota from trying him on state charges, while also trying to paint Renée Good as a subversive extremist as a retroactive justification for the murderer's actions.
