Most people in the US are. I could say that's probably why your country has so many problems, but other Christian countries in the world seemed to do okay.A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

Under Cathy's leadership, Christianity became a fundamental part of the Chick-fil-A brand, shaping business decisions and helping the company differentiate itself from its chicken-cooking competitors, especially in the South.
The intentionality behind this is no clearer than when you visit the company's headquarters in Atlanta; every aspect of the place is imbued with a latent sense impression of "family values." When I met Truett Cathy in his corporate suite a few years ago, he gave out copies of one of his many books, Eat Mor Chikin: Inspire More People. But the real touch of wholesomeness was in the final piece of swag he gave away: a simple artifact of the traditional American classroom, a wooden ruler, branded with the Chick-fil-A logo.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I kind of wish they would sell 20 piece nugget meals. I'm always still hungry when I eat there"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

So the crux of the article, the "lefty" belief that this puff piece is mocking, is the idea that "businesses thrive by paying their workers as little as possible". Is that really something the left believes? It would be correct to say the left believes greed causes businesses to pay their workers as little as possible, but I don't think anyone on the left would disagree with you if you said that was to the detriment of everyone involved. Then, later, the author "debunks" the idea that wages have stagnated because this owner of a single franchise pays fast food workers more and a handful of small business offer craft beer or an arcade room. Then the author says "stagnant pay presumes a lack of economic growth", showing he does not understand the difference between an increase in corporate profits and an increase in median household income. Then he reiterates that "people staffing U.S. businesses are being paid more and more", again, because of a single franchise owner.
Cow Poke, I advise you and anyone else to never get any information, opinion or otherwise, from a news source that hires a 3rd-grader to write about how generous his friend is. Your critical thinking skills shouldn't go out the window the second you read a headline that is negative towards liberals.Last edited by Psychic Missile; 05-31-2018, 10:14 PM.
