Reply #88: What makes you think that those affected "will hold out longer"?

[LooseWilly]

If they're losing business because of a boycott, they will pressure the legislature to change the law so as to end the boycott... they're business people, before being idealogues... and they are the interests that the legislature will listen to. If they decide to hold out longer... it just means that they support a de facto racist policy. Trying to convince the rest of the nation to look the other way would endorse that racist policy.

The owners of the businesses most hard hit, the convention hotel owner corporations, will side with an end to the boycott and pressuring the legislators before they will start laying off workers... it just makes more business sense. Arguing against the boycott is just arguing to relieve the pressure on them.

Workers won't be affected by a boycott unless the owners decide to start laying off and absorbing the loss of business rather than pressuring lawmakers to change the law. Only the idealogue corporations will do this, and they deserve to suffer and workers should leave their employ anyway.

Or the workers can try to afford to stay in the hotels of their bosses in order to keep them happy, paying 3 days pay per day for lodging... the bosses will love you and take all your money happily.

It's your state... or "theirs'... make of it what you will.
