And he’s so upset about the law that he’s thinking of Doing Something
(News And Observer) Â Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel says he will try to poach businesses and conventions from North Carolina because of a law eliminating anti-discrimination protections for lesbians, gays and bisexuals.
Emanuel also says he will he ban the use of city funds for nonessential travel to the state.
The law also prohibits transgender people from using washrooms that do not match the gender they had at birth.
He can try to poach all he wants, but, how businesses want to move to an area know for lots and lots of causal gun-play, lots of murders, lots of crime, and a police force that has been keeping secret detention facilities? The law, HB2, doesn’t eliminate any anti-discrimination protections, highlighting the bias of the Raleigh News and Observer, nor does it prohibit that bathroom use at private entities (I have a post on this later today).
Notice, though, that Rahm hasn’t actually gotten around to doing any of this as of yet. But, good for him to institute some fiscal responsibility, so he can use that money to deal with the extreme gun violence in his Democratic Party run city.

Furthermore, all state travel to Vermont (which instituted their non-essential travel ban) should be banned, as we should be concerned about our state employees traveling to the heroin capital of the USA. San Francisco? Definitely a worry over disease. NYC? Increasing crime. Seattle? Escalating crime from the large number of illegal aliens.
