I believe it. The movie “Footloose” is more of a documentary than a work of fiction.

Yet CA still has the highest poverty rate in the nation when accounting for cost of living .

Why do liberals always feel they have to put down states that aren’t on the coasts?

It makes them feel better about themselves when they put others down. It shows a lack of character.

That isn't how it has been so far in the plant which has been open since 2011. Why do you believe that they will change how they hire now with this expansion?

But good try.
That’s not what ST is saying.

Oklahoma passed a right to work law in an effort to kiss corporate asses, and GM still bailed.

Toyota isn’t gonna hire a bunch of new workers in Mississippi on a permanent basis. Why? Because in Mississippi, they don’t have to and their competitors don’t do it either. Toyota isn’t running a charity.

There’s a reason why these plants opened up down south. They can get away with a lot more.

They already hire full time permanent employees now, why do you think they will change that? This isn't a new plant it's an expansion of an already existing plant.

Why are you so opposed to buying anything made in Mississippi?
