KC mentioned in economic incentive spoof on National TV show

I agree with the majority of posters here that view this negatively regardless of state.

We're all in this together, economics spills over our meaningless state lines every single day.

We all use the same airport, cheer on the Chiefs, Royals, Sporting KC etc. and go to the Plaza, the Nelson, First Fridays, The zoo and much much more.

I know this much, KC metro is BOTH KS and MO....and it's worse off if either side loses.

The bottom line is that you and I are both subsidizing corporate profit margins at a dire cost to our governments’ services and no benefit to either of us.

I think that you both understand each others points, I think it's just semantics and the difficulty of written communication.

Shhh... there are people who legitimately think that if the KS side fails than the Missouri side won’t see any repercussions.
