CEO Comments
“North Carolina’s attitude toward race and gender issues is deplorable. They need to fix this in a long-term approach, which they are not likely to do since it is so deeply embedded in their culture.”
“Divisive politics in North Carolina and Texas are keeping us from expanding our business in those states.”
