The current thinking in Charleston seems to be that we can lift the state up by luring businesses with lower taxes, cheap labor, and little environmental regulation. This strategy only brings us more companies who treat their communities, workers, and environment as poorly as they can get away with.

I’ve decided the White House Ballroom is a good thing. Once Trump is out of office we can use it to seat the 140 to 180 additional members of congress we need to give every state the same representation as Wyoming or Montana.
