The fallout begins to crush NC…

Well…after the idiot repubs in North Carolina passed the anti LGBT law a few weeks back that allows discrimination against those folks…their even more idiot governor told the press that he had not seen any effect on business in the state…yeah, that was then…but now, just today, Deustch Bank pulled a 250 job expansion in the state that goes with Paypal’s 400 jobs that will not be coming to the state…and it gets even worse…in a state economy that does lots of convention and tourism business, the cancellations are now starting to be reported with at least 29 groups cancelling their trips to the state. What does this mean to the tourism industry? The estimate so far is that they will lose almost 90,000 room nights with the cancellations…if we use an average of just $100 per night that makes almost $9 million dollars that the state has lost already and that is just the start. How many jobs will go with the loss of that $9 million? At least another few hundred and the ball is just now getting rolling. I have sympathy for the people being hurt that didn’t want the law passed…with the last poll saying that over 60% of the people there didn’t want the law but the far right haters there just had to do it…it’s the only thing that these idiots know…hate….and I really hope the state continues to pay dearly for these asses actions…they are getting what they deserve…geez…
