You know that hyper-liberal friend you have who freaks out over microaggressions and never stops talking about trans indigenous differently-abled awareness and who will cut you out of her life completely if you misgender a nonbinary two-spirit furry she knows?
Yeah, San Francisco is that friend in city form:
A March 4 memorandum from City Administrator Carmen Chu reveals that San Francisco will not enter into contracts with businesses headquartered in most of the United States — 28 states in all. Official travel to those states is also forbidden. And this list includes some surprises: Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Wisconsin.
As a result of this vast boycott, San Francisco is constraining the number of businesses it can ink deals with, which all but certainly inhibits quality and drives up costs. It also adds onerous time constraints to the contracting process, which leads to poor outcomes and also drives up costs.
Ahh, "onerous time constraints... poor outcomes... inhibited quality..."
Yes indeed, that sounds like good ol' fashioned modern San Francisco!
Before you go judging San Fran too harshly, consider some of the various and sundry reasons the city has cut off contact with a majority of U.S. states:
Texas - passed HB 25, which discriminates against trans student athletes by requiring public school students to compete in interscholastic athletic competitions based on sex assigned at birth.
Yep—San Fran is unhappy that high school boys in Texas are forbidden from joining and absolutely wrecking girls' sports leagues.
Alabama- passed HB 538, which shortens the window to apply for a mail ballot.
It wasn't too long ago, historically speaking, that our civic and societal leaders got outraged over meaningful injustices—you know, taxation without representation, separate-but-equal, that sort of thing. These days, if you "shorten the window to apply for a mail ballot," you get on the progressive blacklist.
New Hampshire - passed state law (Bill H2), which prohibits abortion at 24 weeks.
Here's a lil' baby at 24 weeks:
If you think it should be illegal to kill this baby, San Francisco doesn't want your business!
If you live in one of the states on this list quite frankly I'm gonna assume you're doing something right! Thank you, San Francisco!
