Ars Technica:
Executives from some of the globe’s leading technology firms are demanding that Texas not adopt “discriminatory” bathroom legislation. On the table in Texas is a law similar to one enacted—and later partially repealed—in North Carolina. The tech companies have aligned themselves with critics of the bill who believe the legislation is unfair to the transgender community.
“As large employers in the state, we are gravely concerned that any such legislation would deeply tarnish Texas’ reputation as open and friendly to businesses and families,” the companies wrote Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. “Our ability to attract, recruit and retain top talent, encourage new business relocations, expansions and investment, and maintain our economic competitiveness would all be negatively affected.”
Always fascinates me to see major corporations get involved in politics and to see which causes they try to throw their weight behind.
It’s important to note that Texas has an infant morality rate that’s the highest in the developed world (source: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/aug/20/texas-maternal-mortality-rate-health-clinics-funding). Texas’ infant mortality rate falls BEHIND Tajikistan and just in front of Bhutan (source: CIA World Factbook). And THIS is what the Texas legislature is spending it’s time on.
What a cheap, loathsome way for an entire political party to try to keep its voter base angry, energized, and distracted from everything else that party is actually doing to them.

Any state that passes a bathroom bill or a sexual discrimination bill does so because the legislators are perverts who enjoy the sexual energy of doing such things.
Boycott Texas. And, tell Apple to pull out of that state too. There are other places that would welcome the jobs.
more conservatives wasting time on unimportant bullshit.
