NC has Charlotte and RDU, which have no corollary in SC. Other than that, the states are similar, just on a different scale.
True because he doesn't know how to formulate a plan, he thinks this is "The Apprentice", where he barks and fires people.
He seems unable to distinguish between a slogan and an action plan. ALL CAPS slogan is not a plan or a direction that the Energy Department can implement NOW …
I would have to agree with this overall....but I think that's also what law is saying. Most of what makes rural NC better is the "spread" from RDU and CLT. The Raleigh influence is as far away as Rocky Mount at this point.
Yes. And I’m also not sure many people have spent much time in Graham, Swain, Macon or Clay counties. Or for that matter in Hertford, Gates, Camden, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Chowan or Bertie. That’s POVERTY. And I fully recognize SC has a ton of those areas as well, but rural NC is not really different from what I can tell.
You are correct. Legalized price gouging. Sky high overnight and takes forever to come down. And there is always an excuse....
Went up $.25 overnight in WNC after the bombing. I saw everywhere from $2.79 to $3.09 in WNC over the weekend, and it hadn't been that high in months. See an0moly's post above.
Agree - can always tell when we're on SC roads. Although to their credit, I think they've increased their gas tax a bit to try and help fix things up. Where the difference for me used to be .25 to .35 on the gallon, now it's .05 to .15. Maybe they can use that to start making I-95 three lanes all the way through SC.
They need to widen I-77 between Rock Hill and wherever it finally widens just before Columbia. They also need to widen I-26 from Columbia to Charleston, and I-95 from the NC line to Savannah. The major roads in SC are disgraceful, not just the condition of the road surface, but the failure to plan for necessary growth in traffic by building additional lanes BEFORE the need is critical.
Hey. You cannot talk about NC poverty and not mention Robeson
i'm from ENC so i'm biased but Hertford, Gates, Camden, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Chowan and Bertie are all made more palatable by their proximity to the albemarle sound (and chowan river) than a lot of comparably poor areas in SC that don't have access to water like that. better soil, better views, etc.
gsp and asheville-hendersonville are almost equal population wise.

I mean I guess its good for her but women have been flying combat missions in the US military for three decades at this point.Girl Power! One of the U.S. Pilots Who Bombed Iran Was a Woman
Trump's reckless decision to attack Iran might be one giant leap toward the annihilation of humanity, but at least it's one small step for gender equality.
Way to miss the point.
It isn't. NC just has more areas of prosperity among the rural poverty. GSP/Chs/HHI Beaufort are equal to any areas in NC. Columbia is a shit hole, but its my shit hole. Not much in NE SC and MB certainly doesn't do anything but bring that area down.
