Texas has some additional advantages, the largest being that it is not part of the national power grid. Texas supplies its own and doesn't rely on the grid. Huge disadvantage is its porous border with Mexico!

Truthfully, in evaluating the states, only Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, and Montana (to a lesser extent) fit the criteria very well. Montana's problem is all the liberal rich people (think Ted Turner) and California people who have moved there and changed the political landscape.

North Dakota is a reasonable thought, too, except that its so FREAKIN' COLD! And yes, I've spent two winters there and I do know! Its so cold they can pull houses onto lakes and leave them for months!

You also need to consider "right to work" States above union-controlled, international worker's party dominated city councils and county commissioners, who almost always have strong ties with organized crime, and run basically a legitimized racketeering operation against productive businesses.

Then you look at the taxation environment of the State and municipalities that will be able to sustain your operation, with suitable housing & infrastructure solutions for your employees within the area.

Along with that, you look at the ability to hire long-term talent from engineering schools that are top in the nation, where machinists and computer-drafting technicians will receive the best education and keep a manufacturing business competitive. The culture of a State is huge in producing positive results in the above aspects of geographic analysis for business relocation.

BjornF16 Wrote:That's interesting...I have a friend who bought a pistol in December who had to go register within something like 48 hours after purchasing. I was at Nellis AFB (Clark Co) when it occurred.

How does the state allow the county to get away with that?

bdevr Wrote:The exact same way that we end up with Harry Reid for a Senator. The majority of the population lives there, and it is VERY left leaning. Besides the Reno/Carson city area, the rest of the state has small spatterings of population. It really sucks heavily for the rest of us.

However, I'm a refugee from ComiChusettes and ANYTHING is an improvement.

Quote:I come from a mining town.

But by the time I came along - December 2, 1939 - the leading industry in my hometown of Searchlight, Nevada, was no longer mining, it was prostitution. I don't exaggerate. There was a local law that said you could not have a house of prostitution or a place that served alcohol within so many feet of a school. Once, when it was determined that one of the clubs was in violation of this law, they moved the school.

As a boy, I learned to swim at a whorehouse. Nobody in town had ever seen such a fancy inground tiled pool in their lives as the pool at the El Rey. Or any pool at all, for that matter. At least nobody that we knew. The El Ray was the main bordello when I was growing up in Searchlight. Every Thursday afternoon, the whoremonger in town, a kindly bear of a man by the name of Willie Martello, would ask the girls who worked the El Rey to clear out, and he'd invite the children in town, usually no more than a dozen of so at a time, to swim in his pool. And we would live the life of Riley for a couple of hours, splashing in the azure blue of that whorehouse pool. This was a rare luxury in a hard town. When I was coming up, there were several other brothels in Searchlight - the Crystal Club, Searchlight Casino, Sandy's - thirteen in all, and no churches to be found.

In my home, we had no religion. None, zero. And when I say none, I don't mean 10 percent religious, I mean none. It wasn't that my parent were atheists or something, it was that religion just wasn't part of our lives. But Franklin Roosevelt was. In our little home, my mother had a navy-blue embroidered pillowcase with a little fringe on it, and she put it up on the wall. On it, in bright yellow stitching it read, "We can. We will. We must. - Franklin Delano Roosevelt." And that was my religion.
