Just a tiny step up from working in the hog & chicken plants, better than nothing I guess. I'm still sore about Johnston County rejecting all those good paying railroad jobs from CSX, and scaring them away

Prepare for the announcement HQ2 is not coming to Raleigh, the Execs don't want to be near the commoners.

Meh. I think they can have an HQ2 and a warehouse in the same metro area.

Keep national politics out of it.

This area, the Triangle, is purple. Leans further left at the core, further right in rural areas.

That’s all we need to know as far as the liberal vs. progressive, Trump vs. “Fake News,” Pepsi vs. Coke...

Well, no...that last one is a local issue.

Point being...leave out the federal stuff.

This is fun, can we post faster than Redzin can delete?

I need to get off my iPad and go to the beach...
