This is amazing. Georgia Republicans voted last night to cancel a Delta tax break, to punish Delta for criticizing their voter suppression bill. A GOP leader admitted to this motive, saying: "You don’t feed a dog that bites your hand." (media.patriots.win)

The fact that the government of any party can "punish" a business for expressing any opinion is wrong and scary. Likewise, that a government can "reward" a business is also wrong and scary.

This isn't punishment, it is taking away a 'perk' which probably didn't need to happen in the first place. The Delta CEO is lying through his teeth (or doesn't know what he is talking about) when referencing the Georgia voting bill. Suppose he has Chinese handlers helping write his script?

These perks should not exist in the first place! All businesses should have to compete, not some getting special treatment. This is fascism.
