Best check that produce this year!

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!

+1. We all just got shoved around by a bunch of whining taker states.

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.

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.

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.

Delta has already provided their position on abortion laws in 2019. While I know that wasn't your point, it will be interesting to see if that changes given the current situation.

You've consistently been missing the point. We as consumers have far more ability to hold red states and domestic businesses accountable than we do holding Chinese businesses accountable.

From now on I will be giving a lot more of my grocery dollars to locally sourced meats and produce.

Most of the energy used in this country comes from and/or is refined in Red states, so please keep travel and energy consumption to an absolute minimum. Plus it’s better for the environment!

I’m losing track of what labels we’ve assigned which state. Is Michigan red or blue? I know southeast is reliably blue but not so much other parts. OH? VA?

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

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.

I think PP meant the farm market / local food is probably from red areas of the state.

We are pro life as is our daughter. We have decided to move to a red state where she is accepted to nursing school. We will only have OOS tuition for one year, though our college coach has let us know many schools waive those fees to attract the brightest and best.

We are looking at Texas, Alabama, Florida and Georgia.

We want to support those states that support the sanctity of life!

I have not read all 27 pages of this (NP here) and I'm guessing this point has already been made, but just wanted to say -- PLEASE pull your apps from these states, today if not sooner! DD would love to be a wait list admit to Wash U.
