North Carolina, once again leading the nation

[AthenaAwakened]

... straight to hell.

Since we don't really have a hell, the General Assembly has decided to provide one for us by turning the Old North State into one big plantation with corporations in the big house and the citizenry in the quarter.

Yet another step has been taken down that road to perdition.

Despite opposition from a wide range of groups, including AARP, veterans, journalists, and animal welfare advocates, North Carolina lawmakers have overriden the governor’s veto of their ag-gag bill.

The bill, which becomes law one week after the veto override, lets businesses sue employees who expose what happens on the job, even if it what they are exposing is illegal.

The bill is part of the ag-gag trend, in that it is primarily focused on animal welfare advocates who expose factory farm cruelty. But the bill is so broad it affects all workplaces. That’s why veterans’ groups and the AARP have come out in opposition.
