I hope suburban liberals can live without their status symbol BMW X3, X4, X5 or X6. All exclusively made in South Carolina.

Same for the 787. Better not fly on any airline buying them as Boeing Charleston continues to pull work from Puget Sound.

Scrap all you Dell contracts.

Stop ordering from Amazon. Many if their fulfilment centers are in reliably red areas of the country.
That's ok because you have Trump opening up his pie hole tanking their stock thereby helping Airbus. Making America great!

Well the Boeing thing I find intriguing. Boeing's been screwing their west coast heritage unionized work force for almost a decade, with the threat of shifting work to red states a constant cloud shadowing job security. I am not sure what Trump's angle is on that one.

Boeing has been using production in other states to leverage the unions for a long time.

Trump just got pissed that the CEO of Boeing had the gall to point out that rolling the dice on a trade war with China could badly hurt US companies and that the US can't really afford to pull back from the world while opening the door for competitors to do what they want.

LOL. They had it at the samples station last week. Take cheddar. Drizzle truffle infused olive oil over it. Instant artisanal truffled cheddar.

I love products from California. I would die if they cut off my access to Ghiradelli.

That's fine but realize there are a lot of chocolatiers who produce far higher quality product than Ghiradelli. Splurge for something like Spagnvola if you want a bean-to-bar maker. Or if you don't care that the candy maker is using someone other company's couverture (bulk chocolate) to make their retail pieces then go for somewhere that handcrafts each piece like Andree's. You really owe it to yourself to eat the good stuff from time to time.

This is highly relevant to my interests

That would not end up well for those citizens.

I have a feeling someone from the IRS/Fed is going to be calling the higher-ups at Time magazine about this and you won't be seeing any more articles like this published in the future.it's basically a call to commit a crime.

LOL, so you're totally ok with this kind of suppression, but calling out fake stories for being fake is totalitarian. What a maroon.

I'd have so much more respect for the pot users if they were just honest about it and said "look, it's no different than alcohol, I don't need the nanny state telling me what I can't smoke, so long as I'm not hurting anyone else". The people with actual medical need for pot are such a tiny fraction of the users it's not even relevant, it's not even a rounding error.

What I've always found fascinating is that even though marijuana isn't supposed to be addictive like some of the other drugs, people are willing to risk money, jobs, career, family and even prison to keep using it. Obviously there's a big addiction there, whether psychological or physical.

Some people just have addictive personalities. That can manifest in the form of gambling, video games, porn, hoarding, posting on forums hundreds of times a day. You name it. All of those can risk money, career and family.

But most of the demographic you cite are libs, so they'll get what they deserve.
Is Ghiradelli from California?
Historically based out of San Francisco and still HQ in Northern California, although they are a subsidiary of Lindt now.
Hit this place sometime also. Anywhere that you can literally have a full meal of chocolate and things like the stout beer milkshake (cinnamon ice cream mixed into chocolate stout beer) is probably right up your alley.

Wait, I thought that strategy had already been in place for years. Geithner anyone? :D

So all the conservatives onboard with a mutually amicable split between irreconcilable regions? Why keep clinging on like your white welfare depended on it?

True, there are any number of things people can be addicted to. I was referring to people often commenting that pot (unlike other drugs) is not really addictive. I'd say based on the fact that people continue to use it even when faced with dire potential consequences says otherwise. It might not be a physical dependency, but it is apparently very addictive. I'm not arguing that should be the basis of making it illegal, just saying I don't buy the "it's not addicting" stuff.

Why not just boycott red leaning battleground state made goods? Perfectly legal and far more effective. Destroy their dreams of greatness through Trump, and demoralize his supporters.
Plus, pretty much no skin off your back. If you buy a car made in Japan vs one made in Ohio, probably even better quality.

Sums up the leftist collective perfectly. I could say something like maybe the red counties can stop sending food to the blue urban areas. Then sit back and watch after 3 days when the food runs out. But I would not wish something like that on my fellow Americans. It is a shame that leftists are such whiny little bitches that they dream of the destruction of the U.S. just because the large urban areas vote differently than the majority (electorally speaking) of Americans. Where is moonbeam and his speeches on self hate when you need them.

Sure that's not the only reason you wouldn't want to give up on all that white welfare.

Doesn't matter to me either way. I appreciate the merits of either region. However, I've apparently been missing out on something. Where does one sign up for this white welfare you speak of?

I recollect you mentioned you did some while back, and prolly had college paid for as a result. An employer of last resort, education benefits, defense factories/facilities in the middle of nowhere which can't be outsourced are some of the lucrative half trillion plus a year benefits.

Hypothetically if 65 million people did it, the government would be completely fucked.
You cannot hire enough agents to track all of them down, arrest them, prosecute, and we sure as shit dont have enough jails for them.

Having said that, there is no way in hell you could organize 65 million people into doing that, so its a moot point.
How about getting these special snowflakes to get out and vote, not just in presidential but local elections on a regular basis and participate in their communities,

I know what a concept.
