And no one is telling you you can't give your money to such people. Nice straw man.
I do live in a state with those items. I don't give them my money and I advocate against them. Again, just because something is law, doesn't make it right. And I don't eat in an establishment with such machines. So, I think I've answered your questions. Principles aren't flexible or else they're not principles.

If I refused to deal with every business or entity that offended my principles, I'd never have kept my job, provided services to hundreds of customers thousands of people and traveled as extensively as I have over the last 30 plus years. Every airline, hotel chain, rental car provider restaurant and yes customers and employers and people I've encountered does things I consider unethical and disgusting from time to time, and I'm known to complain when they do.
I don't question your right to apply principles as you please. I do ask whether you apply them as stated to every interaction you have or is OOTPD a special case?
