SI.com piece on David Tepper

[Devil Doc]

I am confused on what people mean by "Regressive".. when you say regressive.. do you mean against social norms? Or regressive as in more taxes, more rules, laws etc? I wouldn't label NC as regressive.. certain things are liberal and certain things are conservative. SC for example is very lax on property taxes for Veterans,vehicle inspections, window tint, car insurance is cheaper etc.. Is this regressive? NC is very high on taxes, not many tax breaks, strict on inspections, car insurance, etc... is this regressive? When I hear the word Regressive.. I don't necessarily see it as a bad thing or a good thing. If the public wants lower taxes, less public assistance, pro-life, pro-gun etc.. let them have it... same as if the public wants gun bans, pro-choice, higher taxes, etc... is either one bad? no..it all depends on what YOU think is a social norm.. each person is different.

Utopia is quite expensive. 2500 for a bedroom these days... I miss Carolina lol. 

A small price for the perfect life. Clean streets, booming small businesses,and low drug use.

The areas of Mississippi with riverboat gambling are also shitholes, and the economies around them are depressed while still dependent on the riverboats. 

I take issues with this, my wife is from the MS gulf coast, and while they don't have riverboat gambling in Biloxi, they do have real casinos and its made that area a lot nicer.  it's far from a poo hole.

My father was stationed in Biloxi in the late 60s and it blows his mind how much nicer it is now, and a lot of that can be attributed to the casinos.

YouTube is owned by Googles parent company so they are the same actually. But still they pay for that great city and its progressive utopia.

The streets of Charlotte sure are "fuged up" as you would say.   The scourge of potholes and generally lousy road conditions we currently have is unprecedented.  Current city council is awful and looks like it will be for the foreseeable future.

I rarely bitch that much about potholes in NC since I travel extensively in the midwest and northeast. Their roads are just basically riddled with asteroid strikes.
