The state’s GOP leadership tried to make the state more business-friendly. Now residents are saying their water isn’t safe to drink.https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/04/north-carolina-a-preview-of-life-under-a-trump-weakened-epa/521211/A good article about what absurdly pro-business Republicans will do for you: push policy and (de)regulations that
always favor businesses and corporations over citizens, even if those corporations are literally poisoning the state's residents. No matter what, the wishes of the corporations and utilities
always come first.
This in many ways sums up my problem with pro-business politicians of either party - many of them have for too long completely written off the voters who send them to office, and no longer have any semblance of balance between policy that favors businesses and policy that favors, or at least protects citizens from the excesses of corporate America.
Being pro-business shouldn't automatically equate to letting corporations poison your own voters, so I don't even know what to call these kinds of politicians anymore. They aren't just pro-corporate/anti-worker politicians, they are practically evil.
