I see you come from New Jersey.
I've been fortunate enough to travel from one end of this nation to the other, so i've been most places.
I'll say this as nicely as possible... New Jersey is the very bottom of the barrel as near as I'm concerned. I happen to be helping with Sandy damage right now, and Irene last year and to be perfectly honest there are a lot of places up here that would vanish into being ghost towns if it werent for tapping into uncle sam's coin purse. Now there are places like that everywhere no doubt about it... but there are some areas up here in the northeast that take the cake.
why are you so concerned about what Texas is doing?
If the leadership in place in Texas wants to make it a good place to bring business and the hundreds of thousands of jobs that come with it, then by all means i think they should make it a profitable place to do business and to live and work.
I have to honestly say the mentality is completely different in a lot of the areas i've visited but the Northeast tends to bring out the worst in people.
it holds the honor of being the ONLY place i have ever been pushed out of the way while grocery shopping because someone needed an item off the shelf in front of me
It holds the honor of being the ONLY place i have ever held the door for a woman and had 3 guys breeze right in ahead of her as if i were holding it for them.
It holds the honor of being the ONLY place i have ever had people tell me to be rude, and drop my southern manners if i want to fit in.
Well... Im sorry, but the Northeast and particularly New Jersey can have it.
I'll take my sweet home Texas - even with all it's faults large and small - any damn day of the week over this turd that is the NE.
EDIT: i do have one nice thing to say about New Jersey... The Graffiti is really nice this time of year.
