Increasing retirees from the Baby Boomers already here, plus the fact we get Retirees from other states probably explains 90% of the drop since 2011. Don’t let facts get in the way though.

Good mention about incoming retirees from other states, that is something we share with Florida and should definitely be part of the discussion!

Add to that, retirees are living longer. 85+ are the fastest growing segment of the population.

Isn’t Walmart raising wages for most of it’s employees? That should help.

If she is right I will feel like a fool. Trying to maintain that much retail space in a low sales volume scenario is incredibly hard. Then dealing with the theft from rural welfare queens and Meth heads just sinks the ship. That would be awesome if the booms she was hearing was a subterranean Super Max being built instead of a meth lab.

And according to the Spartanburg H/J they welched on a $1000 donation to the Pacolet FD.
Walmart’s reply was ‘we will honor our donation…the check is in the mail” AFTER the Spartanburg H/J checked on it
You know…that dinosaur of the media…a fucking newspaper????

Me and Fits posted at the same time. (I think I was first) I give more details on my comment in the Iowa Caucus article. SEE PART I

I compare 2015 to previous years back to 1976. SC has set new records in job creation.
When I am off work, (This evening) I will comment on how SC compares to other states in PART II.

I can see now how my public school education is failing me. I would have made the mistake of starting that first sentence “Fits and I.”
