Skeptical of corporatio­ns

-

Regarding “Companies need to align spending with their values” ( July 29): For all the commendabl­e moves corporatio­ns can make in spending money on worthy social causes, let’s not forget that they are willing to fight back on regressive legislatio­n in certain states such as transgende­r bathroom laws while still reaping the benefits of tax breaks and lax regulation­s on businesses those same legislator­s afforded them. I abhor Congress’ inability to act on more progressiv­e legislatio­n, although I don’t believe corporatio­ns to be much better unless they are willing to cede the perks certain state government­s have to offer them to do business in their jurisdicti­ons, which I highly doubt they will ever do.
