All three of those examples are insanely political enterprises.

You basically showed your lack of awareness by answering the question.

I'm confused, so you say it's okay for business to don't do business with anyone based on political differences.

I give examples of companies that don't discriminate based on political ideology.

I think you're intentionally missing the point here. Sure, all business are affected by politics, but in the context of this article, none of these generally limit services based on political ideologies.

I also wish we had a functioning democracy and those were still apolitical.
