The evil that is Hobby Lobby and its representation of an ideology called capitalism

This letter is stunning in revealing the evil which animates this for-profit company. There is not a word about what the company will offer its workers during the crisis other than telling them to tighten their belts. The letter is basically a bunch of religious-based bromides which incidentally tells the employees how blessed the owners are to have made so much money, while again the employees should be tightening their own belts.

Hobby Lobby represents exactly how capitalism replicates feudal relations through the medium of money, and how capitalists use religion to justify their wealth and your (meaning the employees') subservience to them.
