Tim mocks people publicly announcing chicken sandwich boycotts, argues expecting corporations to reflect biblical or any personal morality is naive, and says people should just not eat somewhere quietly if they disagree with it.
- Tim's hypothetical about drunk driving vs. taking Uber when the CEO is part of Trump's Economic Council.
- Fat Christians threatening to boycott Chick-fil-A is ridiculous—they're admitting they eat there constantly.
- Tim mocks people publicly announcing their emotional investment in a fast-food company's morality.
- Tweets from people declaring they've spent their lives eating Chick-fil-A, now boycotting it.
- Expecting morality from a corporation that fires people after Christmas to avoid holiday pay.
- The outdated idea that a conglomerate should reflect your religious values.
- Religious arguments for morality have secular equivalents—don't murder, don't steal, don't covet.
- You can't hold up the Bible and demand your chicken sandwich shop operates by biblical principles.
- If the chicken sandwich shop wants to support Bible-based policies, you just don't eat there—it's simple.
- Tim's bottom line: if you don't like what a company does, don't support it and move on.
