Today’s installment of evangelicals being evil: Hobby Lobby CEO David Green

[UNCjigga]

Curious to hear what the workers actually think? Would they rather keep working and get paid? I suspect that many front line workers at HL subscribe to the same conservative Christian values that deny them socialist paid sick leave. I guess they have nothing to complain about then—they can always GoFundMe to pay the bills as needed.

Coronavirus: Hobby Lobby billionaire keeps stores open after ‘God spoke to him’ – but won’t pay sick leave

Billionaire refuses to pay sick leave after keeping stores open because ‘God spoke to him’

Billionaire CEO told employees to ‘tighten their belts’

www.independent.co.uk

The US arts-and-crafts chain Hobby Lobby has said it will remain open during the coronavirus epidemic – but has also refused sick pay for workers who fall ill, including from Covid-19.

The chain is keeping some stores open in states that have not ordered non-essential retailers to shut down. In a letter to all employees on 19 March, founder and CEO David Green warned that times would be tough: “To help ensure our company remains strong and prepared to prosper once again when this passes, we may all have to ‘tighten our belts’ over the near future.”
...
In a March 23 memo to store managers seen by Business Insider, store operations vice president Randy Betts wrote that the business would “make every effort to continue working the employees”, and that sick workers will be expected to use their personal paid leave or take an unpaid leave of absence.

It was my local hobby store. Looks like I'll find some place else.

 

[nakedfrog]

Yeah, I'm sure he's gonna be tightening his own belt...

I've already been boycotting them for years for their other bullshit.

 

[Lanyap]

Praise God except when my money is on the line. You’re on your own.

 

[Moonbeam]

This guy doesn't know that God really exists and he will never know Him. His faith is a methodology used by psychopaths to profit from those who are naive in their faith. What a pitiful human being.

 

[HomerJS]

But...but...contraception is the real EVIL

Only reason most liberal progressives boycott Hobby Lobby is because it is low hanging fruit, christian, and doesn't make the shiny gadgets and gizmos as well as all the rest of the cheap junk Americans crave like some junkie and their heroin.



Not wanting to include certain birth control medications in their healthcare ,outrage and call for boycotts, even by people who previously never heard of Hobby Lobby, shop there, or knew of their existence.

But round up millions of people because of their religious beliefs,

pollute the environment en masse for cheap goods, so Americans don't have to pay to deal with at home

China has made major progress on air pollution. Wuhan protests show there's still a long way to go - CNN

When world leaders arrive in Beijing, the city typically lays on beautiful blue skies.

www.cnn.com

enable so called American companies to lay off Americans and move jobs overseas by the millions, treat workers no better than serfs, low pay, poor working conditions, etc. etc.,

business as usual or virtue signaling at best by the same type of people that cry about Hobby Lobby, bathroom policies, identity politics, etc., while they wait in line for the next throwaway shiny gadget, made under conditions that would have the same hypocrites begging to work at hobby lobby if they had to choose between the two.

And China thanks you and sends you a complimentary gift for all you have done for them at your country's expense, just don't forget to share while you are boycotting/protesting Hobby Lobby.

This contribution is just as valuable as yours typically are.
In other words, thanks for nothing.

Thanks for taking the time to assemble all of that bs for us. So what about all that makes what the Hobby Lobby CEO wrote seem even remotely Christian and in line with religious values to you? Are you disagreeing that he's a greedy POS putting his personal gain over the health of his employees?

 

[Roger Wilco]

I am not what you would call a conservative Christian; I have never bought anything from Hobby Lobby or Chick-fil-A. These companies seem like a standard case of psychopathy leveraging religion and politics, per the unfortunate usual.

Unfortunately, we will only see more of this type of thing the longer the pandemic continues.

Let's just entertain the idea that China sent it on purpose to hurt the US.

1 They did it in the worst possible way, hurting themselves just as much
2 It was the US dicking them around the last few years, so....
3 They did not force Donny to be so inept in dealing with it

Again? Do tell.

Why the heck do you always only blame liberals for every ill?

Do conservatives/republicans not buy iphones/electronics or something? Seriously, gtfo with this BS. Everyone is to blame for the current mess, however, the libs/dems are certainly not the ones giving gigantic tax breaks to those companies you are railing on.

Did it occur to you the low hanging fruit is hypocrisy?

Fucking over your underpaid employees is exactly what Jesus called for in the little known book of Larceny. Its part of the special bible given to rich evangelicals.
