California Won't Buy From Automakers Who Sided With Trump
The more Leftists push others into the margins the more in the margin they’ll find themselves. Let Ca. continue isolating itself in a quixotic purification. Eventually we can contain it with a wall and armed guards. Let the undead have it.

In the UK, health services are being withheld if you say or believe the wrong things - wrongthink.

One constant of the world wide leftist movement is, they are all tyrants, every one of them. They seek power, money and control at the expense of everyone else.

Nope. The automakers should all pull a Ronnie Barrett and refuse to sell any vehicles to the CA government under any circumstances. They should likewise refuse to service the vehicles the state does own. Those Lefty jackwads would cause less mischief if they had to walk everywhere they wanted to go.

The reality is, you don't buy vehicles from the manufacturer(s), you buy them from a second party (the dealer). Same applies to state entities even though/ if a model is tailored for a goobermint entity (like a LEO's vehicle).

Cars are noting, try Kali compliant locomotives on trains run into the state.

It would seem to me that by prohibiting agencies from purchasing a product from a qualified vendor might be illegal...

Sounds to me that Kommiefornia is attempting to punish companies for exercising their First Amendment Right to "...petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Sounds like those companies should raise the bid price on L/E vehicle’s by about $20,000.

Hey, I'm all for this. I'm sick of seeing Priuses and their smug/shitty drivers everywhere. If the CA.gov bans them, maybe the citizens will, too!

Yes, this is true. However, all dealerships have contracts with the automakers. No reason these couldn't be adjusted to rule out sales to the state.

Decent people need to stop selling to California, especially guns and ammo for their police. And stop producing anything that is "California compliant" that differs significantly from what is sold everywhere else.
