Can your ISP block you from the internet over politics? Can your email service delete your account if they don't like the things you say in your emails? Can the bank cancel your mortgage and take your house back if they disagree with your politics? Can the gas station refuse to sell you gas depending on who you voted for? Can the grocery store, which is a private business, refuse to sell you food because of your political affiliation? All of these are private businesses that reserve the right to refuse serve to anyone, right? They're all private companies, and they can ban people from their property over politics right?

I was working as an engineer for 2000-2013 at an electric utility. A good portion of our work could have been done remotely, but the company refused to let anyone telecommute. They said "if we let you work from home, you wouldn't get any work done! hahahaha" to which I said, "If we don't get any work done, then fire us." They didn't take kindly to that. Around 2010, they gave us all laptops so that we "could work anywhere", but what they wanted was for us to be moved around inside the company to work in any of their office buildings. This further irritated me, as over the years, my commute changed from 20 minutes, to 2 hours, to 3 hours, to 4 hours, as they transferred me to different cities. It's extremely irritating to spend 3 to 4 hours driving to a job, to sit at a desk, and the only work done that day was in AutoCAD. I could have done this from home! 12 hours in a day GONE because some old man in management has an outdated view on the world, and technology, and work, wants us at a desk in a building, and working in a cube. I'll celebrate the day that all the Boomers are dead and gone, and the world can finally bring policies up to speed with technology, so we can all live a better life.

In 1996, Obama said that he "supported banning the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns".
