Uhh.

Most of the major corporations are pro-choice (mostly keep it hush though because Republicans are retaliating at anyone who steps out of line) because it affects their employees, it's not about politics, it's something that literally affects them. That is why companies like Microsoft and others have pledged to assist employees with expenses should they need to travel out of state for an abortion.

Sony isn't really taking a side here either way, they're pledging to match a donation which Insomniac Games wanted to do, only $100k in total, they can just as easily match a donation to a pro-life organisation and on top of this, they're banning their employees from even mentioning the donation or retweeting it, they're also banning their individual studios from making any statement whatsoever, they're very much trying to sit on the fence on the situation.

Bit ironic that the same folk who constantly complain about freedom of speech being taken away are perfectly okay with Sony restricting the freedom of speech of their individual employees and studios on an issue which affects their employees. It's also ironic that the same group are suddenly pro "big government" (in this case, taking away the bodily rights of women).

But anyway, this is an issue which affects corporations because at the end of the day, corporations have human beings in them, that is why they're involved in the issue so it's silly to say they should stay out of the issue, although at the end of the day, the same corporations donate to both Democratic and Republican candidates.

The same group who's now supposedly big government, isn't big government and never has been, because they weren't for RvW in the first place. It's big government and the pressure they put on the unbiased, neutral, judges to make it so, and it looks like part of that is what's needed to undo it. The Democrats have complete control of all 3 branches do they not?

How much money is Sony or MS, etc, donating to Weight Watchers? How much more are they going to be paying their overweight underpaid employee's so they can afford healthier food? How much extra time are they going to give up per week, paid, so those employee's can hit the gym and exercise, especially during crunch time? What about when some of the healthy fit employee's complain?

They are corporations who care about their employee's (health), aren't they?

Maybe big corporations should just make sure they offer what their employee's need to do their job at work and stay out of their personal lives. Offer worthy products, not personal advice. If an employee's personal life is negatively impacting their job, figure it out or time for a new workplace.

A buddy of mine has a saying. Big government + big corporations = big babies. Looks as though no babies may be perfectly interchangeable.

If this is Sony's stance, that's fine, just don't try and hide it. The fact that they did begs the question, why, if it's what the majority wants or what's best?

Yes, democrats have the house and white house.  The senate is largely split, with democrats having the tie break via Vice President.  Problem is Manchin, who is a 'democrat' keeps voting republican on the senate floor...  hence why bills are being stalled.
