Literally nothing you said made any sense.
FOR ANY REASON if I operate a private business I should have the right to sell what I want to whom I want without having to justify it to anyone.
Certainly, the NFL made that choice when it chose not to allow certain commercials to air on the Super Bowl.
If I’m a doctor, you shouldn’t be able to pass a law compelling me to provide my services to you at $6.65/hour, regardless of your motives for passing that law.
As for balkanizing the economy, I have never, ever encountered more ignorance in less words in my life. The FREE ENTERPRISE is SELF BALKANIZING. People who have goods and services choose which customers they want to serve based largely on PRICE, but there are other factors too.
Not having your brand associated with, say, LA street gangs may mean not making your products available in certain geographies.
I’m going to stop using the word ‘balkanizing’ in an economic context because it is a political term. It’s like saying ‘we should twerk raises to stimulate more spending in lower income regions.’
Actually, forget it, there is no good analogy.
In fact, I just read a guide on spotting disinformation people on forums and I think you two geniuses fit the bill.
If the concept of retaining ultimate discretion over what and who you choose to conduct commerce with not extend somehow to your right to free association, then you aren’t idiots, but people willfully engaged in disinformation.
Nobody can be that stupid, not even liberals.
Just wow...what a stunning display of stupidity.
If you don’t want to do business with someone, fine. You are welcome to do exactly that. When you state WHY, then you enter into another arena and it is not commerce.
So do not lecture me about liberty. I am not the one trying to defend the indefensible, it is you.
If some homo comes into your business, flaunting being a homo, and you react in the negative and refuse to do business with them on that basis, you are dumber than they are. Because he has infected your mind, ruined your day. He’s living in YOUR head RENT FREE. The homo goes on about his business never giving you a second thought. Maybe he goes to a lawyer and makes your life hell, but does the homo suffer any distress...I doubt that. He’s laughing at you just as I am, because you are stupid, and stuck on stupid at that.
