You don’t insult customers and stay in business for long

Voter ID Laws Take a Beating in U.S. Courts is a strike against political monopoly which is good for business. Currently North Carolina’s rural legislators have a control to exercise their political power without feedback from the marketplace of voters. Enough to do something about imaginary problems such as the pressing need to do something about transgender mis-identification in public bathrooms, but not without economic consequences.  Charlotte North Carolina, an urban economic powerhouse for the state, is finding resistance to this transgender bathroom law so that it loses business, the latest being the NBA’s decision to put the All-Star game elsewhere. So no big deal to these rural legislators, but what about North Carolina’s national furniture business centered in rural High Point and Hickory?  Making the generalization that the furniture business skews toward those that may be offended by what these rubes have wrought let the message get out that you don’t insult customers and stay in business for long.
