The "Chic-fil-A" controversey was the direct result of a CEO putting his personal opinions ahead of the best interests of the company.
Politicans, including mayors, are expected to repesent the interests of all their constituents - irrespective of their sexual orientation.
Its time "Chick-fil-A" found a new CEO with management skills that reflect the 21stC.
"The "Chic-fil-A" controversey was the direct result of a CEO putting his personal opinions ahead of the best interests of the company." ?????????????????
He owns the company, so should he just allow it to be run in anyway that the few who oppose him want him to run it like (or) should he as a smart businessman in America, appeal to the masses by his vision and beliefs that are integrated into the company that he runs lawfully as is found within the nation instead ?
It is a vision and belief that is drawing him nice rewards, and is setting the standard for others if choose to follow down these roads just as well.... Sounds like this guy is smarter than people think he is when looking to bring in the majority by his being like the majority when he speaks to them.. I bet his sales have skyrocketed over this event and/or controversy.. To many times now, companies have had to bend their business practices way over sideways, in order to suit the will of the federal government, even when the governemnt is big time wrong in that will, it is still forced on the company and to it's utter destruction in the end....The government is usually representing only a mere few found in maybe a few specific groups that are complaining to the government about certain things when it does represent them against others/businesses in this manor, and this over and above the masses or majority that which will always make the company soar in the private sector or maybe even break the company all depending on what is being asked of it or is told for it to follow no matter what the consumers think about it per the federal government.
When the good folks find out that a company is being dictated to by the local government or by the feds, over and above the people as the consumers of the products and services offered by the frequented company in which they choose to frequent daily, it drives them away once find this out, where next the company is abandoned also at this point by the feds who used them and destroyed them with it's twisted agenda, but hid it's hand afterwards, so you see how all that works out in the end ? Now people wonder why the private sector has become anti-government as much as it possibly can anymore, where as I say it is all because of the dictatorship that is involved now. Just look at what Obama said the other day " You didn't build that business that you have, you had help", in which is true in many ways, but it all depends on the type of help the business got or would get at any moment by what he was referring to, in which will either determin whether it became a long term successful company all depending or just a short lived/termed un-successful company within the nation all because of.
The main bulk of the work and the sucesses it gains afterwards, is done by the owner who started up the business, and next by the consumers who supported the business. The feds sadly enough have destroyed many businesses by coming in and dictating to them in bad ways, and they have done this while up against we the citizens who are the ultimate deciders in the end of it all.... Now they don't want people to realize their hand in it all when done something bad or destroyed a company with their invasion of it in the wrong ways (or) it could upset their long term agenda being played out in this nation now, where they the feds have become even more bolder than ever before in all of this that we are now seeing in this nation to date.
