Wow.
Is that a big "libertarian thang", urging companies to defy the laws of sovereign governments
because they can?! What the fsck? Would you advocate the same behavior of a foreign entity that operated in the United States? This position is 180 degrees from every other political post I've ever seen by you. "Respect other's boundaries" (I paraphrase). Aren't the laws under which companies do business within the boundaries of the governments who write and enforce them?
Because they can, pbtbtbt. That is the weakest, most immature reasoning possible in support for your position.
