In what should come as no surprise to anyone, Republican Speaker of the House Tim Moore revealed that North Carolina Governor McCrory has no intention on repealing HB2 by enforced deadline. This week, the federal government stepped in and said that the anti-LGBT law HB2 was a violation of civil rights. The governor was given 5 days to repeal the bill or face funding cuts and a lawsuit.

Moore called the Obama administration "bullies" for making a deadline and threatening to cut funding from the state. While Governor McCrory acknowledges that his bigotry will cost the state billions in funding, it does not look like the conservatives will budge on this one. In fact, Moore and the rest of the Republicans are looking into what their legal options are.

My Two Cents

While the conservative imbeciles are sitting on their thumbs doing nothing, the state is going to end up losing billions in federal funding. I hate to sound like a broken record, but this means businesses wil go under, hard-working people will lose their jobs, families will go hungry, families won't have healthcare, children won't have schools to go to, and the overall economy of North Carolina will collapse. Is all that really worth it in order to push your Christian agenda? Are your unfounded viewpoints really worth it? I don't think so. How about considering how this bigotry is already hurting the state? If you think things are bad now, wait til you see what happens when all that federal money you depend on is no longer there.

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.
