In a tweet, Newsom criticized the decision, writing, "California won't be doing business with Walgreens or any company that cowers to the extremists and puts women's lives at risk. We're done."
It's a lose-lose situation for Walgreens now. Even if they comply with California's bullying, they're now 'cowering to extremists,' and so Newsom wants nothing to do with them.
Well, I suppose not a lose-lose...they won't have to be in California anymore, I suppose.
they won't have to be in California anymore, I suppose.
The state not doing business with Walgreens means nothing. Walgreens does private business with Americans, not with the state of California. Cali will try to do with it always does and persecute Walgreens, but Walgreens will probably take them to court and win. The only losers here are Californian taxpayers who will foot the bill when the court awards damages to Walgreens for lost business.
This and other shit like it is why I think government officials should be personally liable for illegal acts or abuses done through their official duties. How this isn't a thing already is fucking beyond me.
It's especially insulting when the government uses taxpayer funds to defend itself...from the taxpayers they wronged! Fuck everything about that nonsense.

I fucking hate governments. Even if Walgreens didn't win, CA is still using taxpayer money to defend themselves.

From where California's policies are, it's nearly impossible to stay in business as a retail outlet in most parts of the state anyway.
Walgreens reported shrink will be lower than ever once they are out of Cali
