The Speaker Pro Tem of the North Carolina House of Representatives scoffs at Paypal’s objection to HB2, the bill that permits discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation, along with a host of other obnoxious provisions that hurt workers.

 

PayPal had planned to situate its global operations in Charlotte, which would have created 400 new jobs. But when the legislature passed HB2, permitting discrimination against LGBT individuals and forbidding localities from passing ordinances to prohibit such discrimination, PayPal canceled its plans, and over 130 national corporations said they would stop doing business in North Carolina. Bruce Springsteen canceled a scheduled concert.

 

Legislator Paul Stam responded with a retort to PayPal that you can see in the link.

 

I wonder if Representative Stam has the same advice for Deutsche Bank, which has also decided not to expand its operations in North Carolina due to HB2.
