These boycotts are only done, if there’s no real sacrifice or cost to them.
For example, a few years ago, LA decided to boycott Arizona, to not do business with Arizona at all, to protest Arizona’s law against illegal aliens.
Then, it was discovered that LA gets about 25% of their electricity from power plants in Arizona. So then, the LA city council rescinded their boycott.
The thought of their people sitting and sweating in a hot summer of rolling blackouts and power outages, was too much to bear. Since boycotting Arizona involved some real sacrifice, LA decided to not boycott that state after all.
Shows how important making their half assed political statement really was.
My guess is that California does very little business, and has very little reason to ever travel, to the states affected. It’s a symbolic protest which will make the folks in The Castro and West Hollywood happy, as well as liberals who like to bend over backwards to prove they are liberal towards homosexuality.
Think you got a point. It will keep up until someone says that this is getting so silly it has reached serious unanticipated consequences.
The point isn’t the boycott but the “virtue signal.”
It’s impossible to enforce these bans. Some poor sap engineer or analyst who needs to go to a training conference to hone their skills to provide better public service will be prohibited while sports teams will be allowed to go.
LA got trapped in one where they lost funds because their city rep couldn’t show mum somewhere, I think NC. They let the ban fizzle out. It’s all S and chest thumping
And quite a few of them like to bend over forwards to prove they are liberal towards homosexuality.
