I assume you have evidence to the contrary as to how these supposedly "butthurt" companies were wrong, right?

"butthurt" means "pissed off about being in the wrong" actually

...and in this instance, "wrong" refers to ethically wrong.
As you seem to have noticed, left-wing business owners weren't butthurt about cost increases in order to help fellow Americans. Because to them, that was ethically correct. So yeah, left-wingers - affected financially or not - were not butthurt.

Make sense?

Missed this before.

...and in this instance, "wrong" refers to ethically wrong.

That's an entirely different discussion, of course.

As you seem to have noticed, left-wing business owners weren't butthurt about cost increases in order to help fellow Americans. Because to them, that was ethically correct.

Which, I assume, is why left wing businesses sought out waivers and delays as well, right? Because it was ethically correct?

Make sense?

I think so. The ACA was ethically wrong.

you can put whatever opinionated value judgement you want on it, Im just explaining what you seemed to not know. That's all.

I think so. The ACA was ethically wrong.

That's exactly the right-wing position, yes. The left-wing position is that the ACA is not ethically wrong.

hence the one-sided butthurt.

Glad I was able to help.

Oh, so how were they wrong?

This is such boilerplate Jeff you're playing here. You're the one making the sure claims about economic doom. How about evidence for that?

So you don't have an answer either?

You are incapable of listening. Have you ever tried to argue with a table? Did you win?

Some days you get the table, some days the table gets you.

Only you could consider admitting defeat to a table in an argument.

Did you find that with a GIS? If so what were your search terms? I've tried to find it so many times!
