    Economic Political Activism

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/maine-fac...135002653.html

    The boycott campaign took off when John Fugelsang, a comedian and actor, took to Twitter to voice his disgust to his 413,000 followers.

    “Dear Susan Collins – I really struggled with this but my tourist $ just voted against ever visiting Maine while you remain in office,” he tweeted.

    Mr Fugelsang has since said he was only joking, but already people have been voting with their wallets.

    They include John Tesar, the owner of six restaurants in Texas, who spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on Maine seafood every year.

    He said he will look elsewhere in order to encourage Maine’s fishermen to vote her out of office.



    Personally, I'm all for the free market and people spend their dollars as they please. But what about the innocent lobster guy pulling in traps just to put food on the table?

    What are your thoughts on Economic Activism?
    What would be the Libertarian stance on this?

    We're being governed ruled by a geriatric Alzheimer patient/puppet whose strings are being pulled by an elitist oligarchy who believe they can manage the world... imagine the utter maniacal, sociopathic hubris!

    It depends on the extremity of the "offenses" and the accuracy of the targeting, liberals are willing to try to destroy entire states for ordinary political disagreements these days.

    John Tesar sounds like a real winner..https://www.dmagazine.com/publicatio...hef-in-dallas/

    Also, from the yahoo article quoted;
    The state's lobster industry is already reeling because of the punitive tariffs imposed by China as a result of the trade war launched by the Trump Administration.
