let's put the crazy to the test.
Bruce Springsteen canceled his concert in Greensboro over HB2. The projected financial impact is 100,000 dollars plus because they don't really know how much business is going to be hurt but the minimum is the 100,000 around the Coliseum. Near the end of the story a quote by Dallas Woodhouse, the chairman of the NC Republican party in the state had this to say
“This is bizarre,” Dallas Woodhouse, the state party’s executive director, said in a statement.
“The Greensboro Coliseum has men’s restrooms, women’s restrooms and presumably family restrooms. The policy passed by the General Assembly rolled back the radical change in bathroom policy by the Charlotte City Council and maintained the status quo. For years young girls have safely used the restrooms at ACC Tournament games and other events at the Greensboro Coliseum separated from grown men. The legislature and governor simply secured the long-standing common policy of safety and security and privacy.”
is it just me, or did this guy just criminalize 1% of the population because they had a sex change? A bunch of companies are leaving NC over this, other state governments are telling their guys not to come here, people are cancelling the furniture market. What's more important? Interfering in a city's local government's ability to do its job, or losing the economy.
And the idiots went back to recess after signing HB2 into law after one day of debate in a special session.
