Milcom MiasmaDear Canada,
Please continue your boycotts of American liquor and goods from our red states.
Those assholes deserve it regardless.
Sincerely,
Somebody who needed to do a better job picking his home state.
Mastodon MigrationI'm down with trying it. I don't know how I'll boycott the state I live in entirely because I've still got to eat but for other things... 🤔
Gemma ⭐️🔰🇺🇸 🇵🇭 🎐@mmiasma I have been advocating for red state boycotts for years, ever since they started to seriously attack women's rights and trans rights. I won't knowingly buy, if I can help it, from any company based in any state attacking either.
A lot of people have had a lot of negative reactions to this.
@mmiasma For instance, as a musician (guitar and bass), I have noted that many of the most popular brands of guitar effects pedals are located in states that have enacted complete bans on abortion, or in states that have severely restricted abortion, and have passed legislation attacking trans rights. This includes Walrus Audio (OK), Keeley Electronics (OK), Wampler (IN), JHS (MO), and many others of similar calibre. I don't care how good their products are, I won't buy them unless they move.
@mmiasma The largest online music retailer in the US is Sweetwater, located in Indiana, and they are an explicitly "Christian" company. I won't buy from them.
I think I get it, blanket boycotts hurt everybody they're targeted at and some people who are actually on your side but happen to live there. I would be one of the latter. Not sure what the answer is for that since I want things to change for the better and this might be the only way for that to happen.

Joe Heafner@mmiasma I hope this brings Kentucky to its financial knees.
Agreed and this comes from someone who loves his bourbon. I can find something else to drink.
At the very least I hope it makes them regret sending Yertle the Turtle to the senate. I know I regret them doing it.

Well, I understand US elections about as well as I understand the workings of a combustion engine but I've been led to believe that due to the tiny population size, votes in Wyoming have more bang for the buck than they do anywhere else in the US. Residents are apparently bombarded with unsolicited calls throughout election season.
Also, I want to fight back against the aggressive posturing of our neighbours south of the 49th but I also want to hang out with my Wyoming niece and kids.

Hmmm. Short answer is yes - sorta. Wyoming gets two U.S. Senators just like every other state so you could argue that with a total population of just under 600,000 we get more representation per person in the U.S. Senate then just about any other state but with only one representative to the U.S. House, and only three votes in the Electoral College, we're pretty inconsequential in national politics. I hope you continue to feel welcome to visit Wyoming and your family any time.

We're hoping to spend a week camping in Montana. Very much a red state but a spectacular place to go camping!

MGD1616Enjoy this song I wrote about Trump in his first term. Sadly it still applies

glasspshr🤣 🤣 🤣 - You really need to up your alcohol game if that's the case.
I'm too old to run from the revenuers and there's not enough people here for me to hide in the crowd. Not an optimal moonshine situation. Also, I suck at cooking.
Maybe find someone in Recluse, Wyoming? Because the name of the town should be the name of your whiskey brand in this case.
"Gimme a shot of Recluse" just works in every situation.
Suddenly a host of advertising images erupt in my brain.
Cowboy at the end of an empty bar picks up a shot of whiskey and looks directly at the camera and says "What are YOU still doing here?"

"And Cut! Print!"

thecampbell@mmiasma yeah really the fact that they could even make the threat: it's time to diversify the economy, cos the USA clearly cannot be trusted in the long run.
