    This won't go far, the state needs those businesses more than the businesses need them and this petulant child knows it. It's bluster and grandstanding for the base and nothing more.

    I'd make a joke about this guy, but he's already a joke so...

    Wonder how many more years until they're either not allowed to make discrimination laws targeting groups of people or get voted out entirely. They'll have nothing to do with their time and the taxpayer's money.

    Bring it. The North will rise again.

    Tho in seriousness, it seems that people are quite mad right now, and this election season has felt to me like an emotional war of sorts. I hope it's not a precursor to organized violence.

    It's really sad when the GOP would even consider having businesses pay a normal tax rate is because of trans people having any kind of freedom...

    I'm sure said companies will have no problem at all taking their businesses out of Tennessee...it's not as if they don't have a lot of other, better options.

    Blackmail (noun): the action, treated as a criminal offense, of demanding money from a person in return for not revealing compromising or injurious information about that person.

    The only thing remotely correct about that is revealing that they're judgmental assholes who do nothing more in the legal system than put others down to lift themselves up. But then again, it's not really blackmail if it's obvious in the first place no?

    I wouldn't accept bribery to hide it either, that would be selfish and irrelevant.
    I would however, bribe them to all shut up at once and let the nation evolve. :thumbsup:
