You would think that this is a good move, but it’s nothing more than caving to corporate pressure.

Had Disney, AMC, NFL, et al. not threatened to cease productions and events in Georgia, this bill would have been signed without issue, even in the face of public protests. This has already happened in North Carolina.

Governor Deal does not care about the citizens of Georgia; his only concern, like the Republicans he aligns himself with, is to ensure that corporate interests are met. And the corporations that put the pressure on are only in it for profit, anyway. They’re taking advantage of the social media firestorm so that they may receive positive press for “taking a stand,” while stealing the support of those who haven’t see through the veil.

They don’t really care about us.
