Interesting accusation. What attributes of this photo would lend itself to be of better quality in such a display?

I had the opposite reaction. I was a bit surprised that OP was surprised this was happening. Roughly 20% of my amazon purchases have had some kind of card in them with an offer of money for a good review. I guess I just figured it was widespread thing. I only ever get cards with cheap mass manufactured items under $30, mostly electronics like cables or adapters along with a few cat toys.
Seems a bit weird that I would support the WBC not losing their jobs but not the former Citi employee right? Well, as a mature adult I recognize that there are limits to freedom of association. The limits are imperfect, but are still much better than the alternative of not having them. Even if I want the WBC to lose their jobs I know I shouldn't support that because they have the right to their sincerely held religious beliefs.
Just as how the limits OF freedom of association are imperfect (and force us to tolerate awful people) so too are the limits ON freedom of association imperfect (and will ensnare less than guilty people). We go through a trial every time we meet with or interact with a person. They judge us on our facial expression, the way we carry ourselves, the way we speak, and what we say. You could be the perfect candidate for a job but if they don't like your resting face your application can be thrown out.
Too many people have grown too comfortable venting on the internet expecting there will never be consequences for their posts. So comfortable in fact that if anyone dare say they don't want to work with you or interact with you there are accusations of persecution and analogies of persecutions past (or at least a slippery slope fallacy argument that it is coming).
> Do you think people should be banned from stores for what they wear in their homes?
> So you agree that it's okay for companies to terminate lgbt employees?
Yes and no. LGBT employees are protected under sex discrimination. I believe you are trying to frame the idea that freedom of association can defeat class based protections by targeting related attributes such as rainbow pride clothing worn by a person at home. Such attempts to circumvent class protections have been repeatedly struck down as unconstitutional because (1) they are not applied to all individuals (2) they are made in bad faith and (3) they have no use other than to target the protected class. I implore you to do research into the current stance of US Supreme Court rulings that define, limit, and explain class protections. My personal stance is very similar to that of the current SCOTUS stance and all of your questions are answered by their cases.
> Seems like people have no principles, just political agenda.
Unfortunately, the execution of one's principles are mistaken for the implementation of a political agenda.
I think the real chilling thing here is your attack against freedom of association while ironically complaining that the world is becoming more like 1984. Sure, like all rights freedom of association has its limits, especially around protected classes and unions in the business world. But should the government really step in and force me to continue to employ a holocaust denier just because he makes me a lot of money? Should the government really stop me from kicking out a dude dressed in a KKK outfit from my store?
The author's justification (at least in part) for deleting all of this information? It can be bad in the hands of employees which aren't intelligent to recognize the fact it is out of date. The solution? Trust those same employees to recognize that even though they know how to perform a completely obscure process, they should download a Wiki that they never use but will be incredibly important in the case of their own death or departure.
Absolutely brilliant.
