@scalzi @SearskaGreyRvn And of course those hurt by the lost jobs will blame librul Hollywood, not the NC politicians.
Bigotry comes at a cost: In this case 400 jobs. Good job, NC state government! https://www.paypal.com/stories/us/paypal-withdraws-plan-for-charlotte-expansion …pic.twitter.com/yGkQamPPvC

@Rechanmole Perhaps. But some will blame the right people. Hopefully, this sends the right message: intolerance is not profitable. -
@SearskaGreyRvn@Rechanmole and I feel for all of them. But there’s no way to selectively punish these bigots. So pain must be endured -
@sparf@SearskaGreyRvn And this will affect Charlotte, the place that wanted to pass the LGBT protections. :/ -
@Rechanmole@SearskaGreyRvn there’s a base, vengeful, cynical part of many people that responds “you didn’t work hard enough to stop this” -
@sparf@Rechanmole *sigh* Very true.
