How would you feel if a utility company refused to serve you because of some silly reason like political affiliation?
Bad attempt at an example. Utilities are regulated precisely because their
customers don't have freedom of choice. It's not like a restaurant or
bakery where you can simply go to another one down the street.

How about hotels/motels?Â* Are they "regulated precisely"?Â* You have reservations, all other nearby hotels are booked and they refuse your room because of the MAGA hat you're wearing? You ok with that?

Another poor example. Generally it you make a reservation at a hotel a contract is formed, spelling out each party's obligations, so they can't legally refuse to give you the room. You could not show up without canceling by whatever deadline there was for cancelation without incurring a penalty either. There was even a case recently in a nyc bar where they would not allow a guy with a maga hat in. He sued. He lost. Am I ok with that? Yes, it's there business, their property and I respect their rights. There are plenty of other bars, why would I want to give them my money?
