We are also after all talking about a private corporation making decisions in the free market for whatever reasons they choose- solid conservative values. So what exactly is the problem?
PayPal is in fact giving up millions in grants and incentives that NC was offering for them setting up shop there, not to mention relatively cheap southern labor. No doubt they can find similarly attractive deals elsewhere, perhaps in Georgia where the Gov just wisely vetoed similar 'religious freedom' legislation. As for the NC law just being about 'washrooms', that's bullshit. Not only does the law specifically omit LGBT as a basis for non-discrimination, it very deliberately overrides any local attempts to pass such protections, as Charlotte had just done.
