These so-called companies with their so-called operations that are affected by so-called bans, they're all just fake. So. ;) Marc

I'm just surprised that Apple, Facebook, Google, etc... are so reliant on having people from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen on-site in the US. Maybe a few of these so-called "tech" companies should develop tools to allow people in different locations to communicate. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Muslims buy iphones and see ads on facebook, too. A market that big is worth the effort of an empty gesture or two.

They probably don't have a lot of employees from those countries, although as big as they are, the number is almost certainly non-zero. But if you don't draw a line at the start eventually the situation gets a lot worse.

In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist; And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist; And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew; And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up. --Martin Niemöller
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Agreed, but drawing the line at an appropriate place is important too. A 90 day travel ban for people travelling from 7 specific countries into 1 specific country does not merit the response it's received across the world. Comparing the Trump Administration and 21st century America to the Third Reich and post WW1 Germany only shows historical ignorance.

Trump's position is not so different from that of past presidents Clinton and Obama. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama on immigration - YouTube[^]

I used to contract for a satellite manufacturer whose publicly stated vision was something about allowing people to communicate and work remotely all around the world. It was ironic to the point of absurd that they had a "no remote work" policy. I was a thorn in some of the management's side because I actually was breaking that policy. Marc

"operations are affected" is not a basis for changing clearly legal decisions. If this decision were upheld, corporations would literally be running the government.

Cute, but there is no Muslim ban since the countries with the largest Muslim populations aren't affected. It's not an indefinite ban. And I fail to see why it's suddenly wrong to put something on hold until issues are resolved. If country A goes to war with country B, are you suggesting that if both countries curtail immigration from each other, is that Niemöller's slippery slope?
