Of course, those individuals lose their jobs. They don\u2019t have a way to make a stand against the government itself, so instead they make a stand against their employer and they suffer for it. Only the corporations themselves and the states, I think, can take an action that has the sort of collective power necessary to make a change.\u201dThe Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
