I think they'll find it a lot friendlier environment.<br /><br />As for North Carolina, I think this should be a lesson to all that we have entered a new age. It if fueled by social media and growing social responsibility. We communicate, we network and we now have the power to support our political and social values. <br /><br />This is akin to businesses not doing business with Africa during Aparteid, etc. <br /><br />Consumers can now use the power of the pocket book to put pressure on companies to treat animals humanely and reformulate (I.E. rescind HFCS) and label even if not required (No GMOs). <br /><br />Now companies are using the same tactics on a larger scale as we are seeing here. <br /><br />Companies that are socially responsible are refusing to do business with states that embrace a hostile social position. <br /><br />And what can the states do? They can not force these businesses to come and do business in their states. There are plenty of alternative areas for these businesses to set up shop. <br /><br />What are the voters going to do when they find they are losing jobs and their economies are suffering due to the decisions of a few Talibangelicals and right wing fundies? If they're smart they'll vote them out. (But hey, it's North Carolina.)<br /><br />Hobby Lobby and Chick-Fil-A are not going to be able to make up for all of the losses these states are bringing on themselves. <br /><br />And kudos to the woman who publicly shamed Rick Scott about his opposition to Obamacare and cutting Medicare. That hit social media too. She's a hero and he's a dog. (Sorry, that *is* an insult to dogs.) He needs to hear that repeatedly wherever he goes. <br /><br />And we need more people doing exactly that to our "public servants". Hold their feet to the fire. <br /><br />PayPal is holding North Carolina's feet to the fire. Good for them. mlaiuppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792165896828163411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-16364264912342594822016-04-06T17:05:33.271-08:002016-04-06T17:05:33.271-08:00Pfeizer and a few other companies didn't wait,...Pfeizer and a few other companies didn't wait, One of my husband's clients makes batteries for electric cars, they had the site picked, graded, basement poured and had material in place to build walls, permits etc.... and they pulled out almost 300 engineering jobs alone.

A close look at that transcript, though, suggests the media may be getting worked up over nothing.<br /><br />In fact, in several instances, it’s the Daily News editors who are bungling the facts in an interview designed to show that Sanders doesn’t understand the fine points of policy.
