From the post, it doesn't sound like it stopped him from doing business this time, so that just seems like a very forced segue into the political rant.

And even if he did, that would just be his personal choice, not something the government is actually doing to his business. As I said, it's a tenuous connection. I personally agree with his politics, but until the government actually does something to interfere with his business, I don't see how it's strongly related.
