Is that the one who replaced Luke Ball who resigned as spokesperson last week?


I have no reason to doubt you

Matters not.

heh

35 million in.........

Wouldn't the takeaway here be about free speech?   Can government punish/rebuke a citizen for expressing disagreement with its policies?

A tax break from a state government does not get eternal life, it can be taken away at any time and has nothing to do with free speech.
But in this case it was pure symbolism by the Georgia House if you actually read the article.

Georgia’s State Senate did not bring the House-backed measure up for a vote, effectively scuttling the GOP’s push to revoke the tax break. Some senators reportedly had reservations about revoking a financial incentive as Delta and other airlines contend with the negative effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
The GOP controls the Georgia Senate 34-22.

yep

Symbolic

The 35 mil per was never actually problematic for Delta.  They just shit themselves temporarily.

Delta shit themselves not at all. They secured larger market share by doing the right thing and had a nice laugh at you wetting your pretty panties over it.

Fiscal conservatism in its purest form.

It clearly shows the hard working middle of this country whether or not republicans are on their side.

If he’s going for a hung jury, sure.

I wouldn't have thought tax breaks related to free speech,  either,  but the threat of removing a tax breake in direct response to someone's free speech did seem to make the issue of free speech relevant here.   Wiser heads among the GA GOP prevailed,  probably because they realized it might appear a wee bit fascist to start revoking tax breaks when executives criticize government policies.  Symbolic or not,  legislative attacks on people whose opinions you don't like are not healthy for democracy.

Note to Georgia GOP.;

Tennessee would love to invite Delta to come walking in Memphis.

The GOP blinked.

I think it is they who need to tread lightly and they know it.

I just received my first dose of Dolly's medicine, 2nd dose next month. It was very easy, it was a nice walk to the pharmacy, and my pharmacy always has beautiful women there.

Salute,
