And then boycott everything from Mexico, since that corrupt sh*thole is one of the major factors in the decline and lawlessness in Arizona and America.

I also think that a lot of LA’s water runs through AZ!

It’s not payback. We are just helping them along with their boycott.

“a quarter of Los Angeles’ electricity comes from Arizona power plants, Pierce threatened to pull the plug if the City Council does not reconsider. “

oh my gosh, I love it!

Civil war is on the horizon.

And it looks like Arizona is going to goad the feds into throwing the first punch.

No, they would riot. LA would get a nice dose of what AZ has been living with.

In 1980 the Canadian federal government imposed the National Energy Program, which involved heavy regulation, partial nationalization and price fixing that almost killed the oil industry in the province of Alberta (Canada’s version of Texas, both economically and politically). Ralph Klein, the Mayor of Calgary (and subsequently Provincial Premier), made the statment: “Let the Eastern bastards freeze in the dark”, in reference to the primarily eastern based ruling party which imposed the new regulations, in the face of the east’s dependence on western oil.

I’d love to hear a similar statement from the Governor of Arizona to the state of California!

Actually...boycotts should be used in response to boycotts. This will bring the boil to a head much quicker.....lance the boil....let the puss squirk!

Seattle's Mayor made a lot of noise about the so-called boycott. It was pointed out that Seattle uses red-light cameras manufactured in Arzona...would the city stop buying them, stop using them, etc...?

Mayor's response? "Well, we have a budget crisis, in case you haven't noticed..."

Silly me...they've been saying it's about safety, not revenue...

How many Californians does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Don't matter. They ain't got no electricity, anyway.
