  • Wayfair Walkout...

    So the government is spending money to try and make it better for these kids and these idiots walkout - fire them all!

    Employees at online furniture giant Wayfair are organizing a walk-out to protest the retailer's sale of $200,000 worth of beds and other furniture to a Texas detention center for migrant children.

    The walk-out, planned for Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. near the company's Boston headquarters, comes after Wayfair executives said they would fulfill an order for beds and other items for a detention center in Carrizo Springs, Texas, according to two Wayfair employees who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The order was placed by BCFS, a government contractor that manages the facility.

    "We're walking out in protest of our leadership's decision to sell to reprehensible concentration camps," an employee said. "We had hoped that raising awareness would be enough for them to do the right thing, but it wasn't. We want to make it clear that this is not a political issue - it's a humanitarian issue, and we will not back down."

        Rather let the kids sleep on the floor so that there can be photo-ops to make Trump look bad than let them sleep in beds.

        Leftist compassion on parade.

            Calling detention centers "concentration camps" oughta be a 21st cent. shibboleth used to determine a lack of mental competency.

              It's a decent rhetorical device, sort of like how insurance panels got termed "death panels" by Sarah Palin and this totally shifted the political conversation on healthcare.

                  Well it shows that at least these liberals are not concerned about the conditions of the camps, they just don't want the camps to exist in any condition. What are we supposed to do with illegal aliens then, just let them come into our country with no checks at all? That's ignorant.

                    Linguistically, how is "concentration camp" inaccurate here?

                      If nothing else it cheapens the experience of what those who were interned in actual concentrations camps were forced to endure. Of course this should not come as a surprise as in the left in general has become the home for virulent anti-Semitic rhetoric and staunchly protects those in their midsts openly engaging in it

                        Exactly. These people who don't want the children to have beds to sleep on ... no better proposal has been given regarding this intrusion. Should the US just invade their original countries and bring prosperity to those countries so there is no need for them to leave?

                            But they are concentrated in one area with inadequate living conditions. Concentration camps do not inherently require the planning of extermination (as the term is used to refer to Japanese internment camps) It's incharitable, as you say, because of the German associations implied, but the knife cuts both ways.

                              When AOC used the term "concentration camp" and when liberals use the term, they are trying to associate the internment camps with Nazi concentration camps. That is their entire purpose for using the term. It isn't just some innocent linguistic term like you are trying to make it out to be.
