    How does this hold up constitutionally?

      It will be ever so slightly funny to see SCOTUS say that buying EPYC instead of Xeon for a data centre is antisemitic hate speech

      it’s the same as the state anti-bds laws so it won’t be challenged

      and it’s hard to imagine it even being applied, imagine a firm that does contracts for the fucking Pentagon which supports BDS? that can’t be a real company.

        Could this impact IAM, UAW or CWA’s pension trust if they divested while representing weapons contractors?

          good question. the wording of the free bit of the article just sounded like contracts but if they want to try to make private pension funds invest in israel this might be picking a fight
