Hummm...gab news...
first sentence...”we aleady know silicon valley doesn’t support first amendment...” really ~ truly didn’t know that...and gab’s article has absolutely no substantiating comment to the support it’s opening statement!

So whom initiated this out of the blue generation list of “145” companies which was news almost 3 weeks ago on nytimes, Khn.org and news.slashdot which gab just literally cut and pasted portions into gab’s illuminating article [the authors didn't even bother to correct the font size & pitch]

btw, here is the actual letter’s cite...https://int.nyt.com/data/documenthelper/1699-gun-control-letter-to-the-sena/3258ed616a016f80dfa3/optimized/full.pdf#page=1

quote
Chip Bergh, chief executive of Levi Strauss, a company whose denim jeans have long been a symbol of America. Mr. Bergh spent the last several days trying to cajole his peers into joining him and gun control advocates like Everytown, which is funded in part by Michael Bloomberg. “Business leaders are not afraid to get engaged now,” he added. “C.E.O.s are wired to take action on things that are going to impact their business and gun violence is impacting everybody’s business now.”unquote

wonder how many other letter signatories are beholding to Michael?
