Unless you have some tangible news you'd like to share with us, your statement is more than a little irresponsible for a couple of reasons. While I suspect your motives are like many of us who would like to watch North Carolina prosper economically, I can assure you there are those that would be perfectly happy to see little immediate gain post-HB2 as proof positive that it was never about LGBT rights and everything about the standing in the way of the rest of the Conservative agenda (in other words, playing right into McCrory's game plan).
Secondly, we don't know what the GA will in fact come up with when it's all said and done. Removing the "Bathroom" part of HB2 but leaving intact the limitations of recourse for workers and all the other rights issues that HB2 squarely took aim at would be something of a hollow victory. Speculating that It's all cool now, businesses are on their way with wheelbarrows full of cash!!! fails to address that people were needlessly and deeply hurt by the GA's actions. It also shows some naivety on how these decisions are arrived at in corporate boardrooms. F-500 company's don't decide overnight to stay away from a given location nor they decide overnight to locate or expand in a given location.
Let's try to stay with the facts as they evolve.
This is almost fact. CBJ will have a article on the 30th with major announcements and other job announcements are coming also.
PS - this is the best news we've had in NC in a year. A bad ordinance will disappear, as will the worse law rushed through to override it. As has been noted many times, it would have been nice for Charlotte to acquiesce one of the multiple times they were given before the election, but they did use it as a highly-successful political tool.
I'm wondering where we're getting this "geopolitical" stuff from all of a sudden. Somewhere, some media person must have used the term in an oft-linked or retweeted article.
Maybe get educated and take a couple geography classes and the term will make sense?

Probably evolved from the same world that conjured up term "too PC".

Again, it's about time the softball libs grew a pair. I think some of those passive progressives are starting to realize how the game is played...do and say whatever it takes to win, the rules are "there are no rules". Good news nonetheless no matter which side of the aisle.
it was basically saying cities can't pass ordinances regardiing various things that is not within their juridisctiion, such as raising min. wage.
that was part of it.
then their finishing "flourish" was to say "and oh by the way, nobody is allowed to sue for discrimination based on protected class status except at the state level"
Maybe get educated and take a couple geography classes and the term will make sense?
I now see you're the same person who's introduced the word twice. I assumed it was someone else who started that topic the other day.
I agree with the other opinion that this is not geopolitical. If you disagree, thank goodness our country's position geopolitically allows us to do exactly that - disagree.

How about you learn it before you dodge it?

No, they "left" because they didn't support the discriminatory aspects of HB2, which will be repealed tomorrow.
The only reason HB2 happened is because the immature jerks who run the General Assembly have to constantly show democrats that theirs is bigger.
McCrory made his bed, he can lie in it.
ok so after months of liberals / Democrats calling McCrory an anti-transgendered bigot, Charlotte votes 10-0 to overturn their transgendered bathroom policy and this does not strike you as odd? By Democrat's past rhetoric on this issue, the Charlotte leaders are now bigots too. So all those events left NC for nothing because there is still no transgendered bathroom policy in NC.
