Is Scout the next Charlotte Panthers training site for McMaster would be a better comparison. With the State sitting at negative unemployment it looks like this will be nothing more than a burden on infrastructure and a draw for more unemployed families from northern states. The trickle down theory for the long term citizens of the State isn’t really working but the real estate developers from Ohio are loving this.

The only question the Guvnah asked was this: “When can I go on TV and tell everybody about all the jobs I created by brib..mmmm…..incentives to private business?” Neither he nor anyone in government gave a rat’s ass about the questions they should’ve asked.

Any Company associated with China should not be allowed in SC nor the USA and especially when they are pushing ESG and trying to interfere with political and business policies. Why wasnt the covid monies used to help restore the small “NON ESSENTIAL ” businesses that were wiped out.
