I agree and the business the locals get mom and pop operations ( whats left) I sat and read the previous threads and am sick of these stupid people in this state. You said it, North Carolina did nothing to save the great industries they had and people are really hurting and you see how compassionate their neighbors and fellow statesmen are! No wonder the industries left. The intelligence level here in this state is less then Chinese, Mexican and the other underdeveloped countries they moved to, they just got to pay them less.
