I buy my produce from local farms and grow it myself. What is your point?

Why do the right wingnuts care so much on this thread that we’re avoiding their few good colleges in their crappy states? Be glad, right wingnuts! Without our kids applying to your few good school, your kids might actually get in.

Their kids don’t go to college, they are waiting for the factory jobs to come back. That’s why those colleges have anywhere between 75-90% out of state students.

I would much prefer a Yale grad in Art History then a master plumber to come install new pipes in my home. Because, I mean, YALE!

DP.

Such a tragedy that the rest of the country outlawed trade schools, isn't it? Shame, that.

Oh, wait. I guess maybe you Southerners have Kentucky, my plumbing-obsessed PP. Better try a different tack.

I don't know, PP. Why would I go grubbing around down there when I could do better in Maine, or Minnesota? What's the draw, again?

I find it fascinating that this is the reason you won't send your kids to Southern schools. As if the systematic sexism and racism of the last 100 plus years isn't enough.

That being said, it won't make a difference. The private schools will make some statement about this ruling. The public schools will remain silent. The spots that may, and I use may very lightly, be lost by Northern kids not returning will be filled. There isn't a lack of students wanting to attend these colleges.

I applaud your desire to make a difference, I really do. But you have no idea where goods come from and will not be able to track them. Also, I guarantee that much of the crap in your possession was made overseas in some Chinese factory with much less care for the women that work there.

Your local farm is probably in a red area of the state. Are you sure you want to eat food grown by *those* people?

Why would they want to sell any of their food to the baby killers? They can just sell it to their righteous little minority.

DP. Let's not make the perfect the enemy of the good.

At some point, it matters that people care. If it impacts bottom line, even if not perfectly. Corporations care. Big business cares a lot. Making the decision and making clear why means that "why" starts to matter more to corporations.

Sometimes that makes all the difference to the tipping point.

You just sound ignorant. Do you think we don’t care about women in our communities? Sometimes people think differently about issues; sometimes it’s hard to understand.

But essentially doubting their humanity - that’s dumb, it’s dangerous, and it is beneath you.

DP. Sure, maybe. For some it is a blue area, for others it is a red area in a blue state. "In a blue state." Perhaps in a state using its tax money to fund what I believe to be worthwhile programs and enact what I believe to be good laws.

Okay. That works for me.

Sounds like what the slave states used to say to justify how they " thought differently" about an issue.

Your actions speak louder than your words. You devalue women. Period.

Abortion isn't regulated by "areas of a state." Our local farmers "in red areas" will do just fine while the farmers in actual red states can think about talking to their legislators about toning down their extremist legislative agenda if they are concerned about more than half of America disagreeing with them and pulling their commerce dollars.

This. I don’t think many people on this board understand how boycotts like this work. PR is a critical element for businesses (profit and non-profit) that has only accelerated in these times of social media. It doesn’t matter if someone actually buys a Georgia peach; what matters is when people vocally and, for the most part successfully, refuse to participate in Georgia’s economy. So Delta’s problem is not that people will refuse to fly it, but that people will choose to work for other corporations not based in Atlanta. Or choose to go to Claremont McKenna instead of Emory. And it’s not realistic to think these decisions won’t occur.

We are members of a CSA. Contrary to desperate belief, we don’t need you! Blue states are tired of donating billions to insolvent red states. The amount of money that a state contributes should be equivalent to their representation in the federal government. Sucks for you, West Virginia!
