- Should it be turned into an essay, or is mainspace more appropriate? --1990'sguy (talk) 11:11, 22 January 2018 (EST)
- That is a good question I am still trying to decide on. We have the liberal corporate bullies page in mainspace, so since this is more or less the opposite of that, I think they should probably go together. Our "best/worst" pages are typically essays, but then, this lies isn't saying "best" or "worst," but just attempting to research and list which company generally act in conservative ways. That is more objective than a best/worst list. Because of this, I'm leaning more towards mainspace, but I can go either way. Do you think it should be an essay? --David B (TALK) 11:15, 22 January 2018 (EST)
Texas "bathroom bill"
Here is a care where liberal companies sometimes support conservative values despite their apparent leanings:
"Many major tech companies have already come out against the measure, including Apple, Amazon, Google, Cisco, and Facebook. Another letter on Monday signed by 14 CEOs from Dallas-based companies like American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, At&T, and Texas Instruments also urged legislators to drop the bill." [1] It doesn't mean they are conservative, but might be useful information in later development of this page. --David B (TALK) 13:18, 22 January 2018 (EST)
