USA Impacts of bombing Iran

South Carolina has some of the greatest poverty I've ever seen. It's a wreck juxtaposed with HHI, Kiawah...

NC has Charlotte and RDU, which have no corollary in SC. Other than that, the states are similar, just on a different scale.

GSP is a larger version of the Asheville-Hendersonville area.

GSO is comparable to the Columbia area.

Wilmington is a much smaller version of the Charleston area.

Outside of those "metro" areas, the states are very similar. But no doubt NC has the advantage with CLT and RDU.

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 …

True because he doesn't know how to formulate a plan, he thinks this is "The Apprentice", where he barks and fires people.

Nah... I live in Eastern NC and while desolate, it's nothing like traveling through rural SC.

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.

Rocket up, then feather float down consumer pricing is profit making, price gouging tactic, is always done in any crisis-shaped-looking-like thing. As it was during Covid-19, too. It has little or sometimes nothing to do with actual production shortage, but CEO decisions on how much to do it, and any risk of being called on it.

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.

gso has 1.7 million, greater columbia 800k.

wilmington 450k, charleston 800.

i think you sold NC a bit short on the first two.
