NC didn't have to pass all this sweetheart legislation, and Google didn't have to put a data center in NC. Apparently, the state legislature felt it was worth the loss in tax revenue they'll see as a result of this deal in order to get Google into their state. Why is this even an issue? There's no extortion here. If NC didn't want to do this, some other state may have. If I'm looking to put a data center in the mid-atlantic region, I'm going to ask NC, SC, VA, MD, etc., what can you do for me? Why is that bad?

Why didn't someone tell me my ass was so big?!
Would you say we have a plethora of screenshots?
Jefe, what is a plethora?
Damn it, he's an actor, not a journalist.
It's not the Capitalist Bastards fucking us. It's the Socailist Bastards who rely on government for everything who are doing this.
