A couple more thoughts:

1. Those monthly checks to NC Associates constitute taxable income. Now NC has lost that revenue.

2. In Raleigh, there is an AP history and government teacher who is a somewhat noted blogger. She notes on her site that her commission checks from Amazon are used to purchase related materials for her students/classroom. Now, that's gone unless she pays out of her pocket, the students pay direct or she gets tax dollars to make the purchases.

It's not easy to measure the total gain/consequences of something like this.
