Who is going to deliver the babies, teach the kids, design the bridges?

@Cosmichomicide Interesting. I live in NC. Our relative cost of living is lower than California but there are fewer opportunities. That is changing as NC grows in population. Charlotte is a financial hub of the Southeast and Wilmington is a movie hub. We have colleges and universities galore and every type of living from mountains to sea and rural to urban. There's considerable tech and healthcare too including Duke Medical Center and Epic Games. The future looks bright for NC.
We're purple. I noticed, despite the recent actions of the NCGOP, we were mainly called out for the older Bathroom Bill impact.
Lived here all my life - it can change on a dime. Never forget the stealth midnight votes.
The GOP desperately wants to get hold of our UNC system. That will change a lot here if they do.
@Cosmichomicide Indeed we are purple. đź‘Ť The GOP needs to keep their hands off. I'm in public education so I already know what they're capable of. I would love a blue wave to take back our legislature permanently. We were blue for decades until about 2009 when the twin disasters of Enron's Bankruptcy (NC was heavily invested) and Hurricane Fran made a case for GOP control. We've suffered ever since.
