“The hypocrites are taking over everything. The hypocrites are taking over everything.” —The Strange One
(Through clenched teeth.)
This reminds me a bit of the situation a few years ago, when Los Angeles banned travel and business dealings with Arizona, in protest over Arizona’s law on illegals.
It was subsequently discovered that LA gets 25% of its electricity from power plants in Arizona, transmitted over the electrical grid.
So, rather than take a stand and sweat with rolling blackouts and rationed power in a hot LA summer, the LA officials decided to rescind their boycott of Arizona. All in the interests of keeping the air conditioning going.
Point being, liberals make these boycotts and political statements when convenient to do so, and if it doesn’t have any impact on them. But if there’s a real world impact or cost to the action, then they back down.
Recently San Francisco banned state travel to North Dakota, I believe it was? I’m not sure of the reason, but SF is boycotting that state. I’m betting that SF does very little business in the first place with North Dakota, so this action by them has no real world sacrifice associated with it.
