Yes, I travel frequently, mostly to New York, Chicago and Boston.

This is a really bad post brother. Never thought you would go this low. You are joining the ranks of some others. (NYB)

Notice I said "mostly", but apparently you're more interested in making digs than you are with reading comprehension.

The Columbia and Greenville boosters are getting along better now than they ever have before.

I didn't think it was a bad post. It was one statistically accurate and easy to reference fact that can't be disputed although it could be argued. It also has the side benefit of exposing the true trolls in the debate. Did you notice that several people attacked me but did not even try to put a spin on the employment figure? Redirection is a trolls best friend.

Bring on the unemployment figures. In this economy....9 percent or 10 percent.....not a big difference. It all sucks. You can thank Washington for that. At least Greenville has been landing major job announcements. What about Columbia? Trolling was the original post / thread starter, so expect people to respond in kind.

I guess its all in how you look at it. But where does it get you? I myself I'm fortunate and make a very decent salary, but as you pointed out; there are people unemployed. Not only here, but in Cola too! I'm sure its not that funny to those unemployed. Also, how does this figure make one city better than the other? Its definetly not stopping Greenville from landing more business is it? Nor is it helping Cola gain any.
