That's because there is a coordinated attack on your state by woke fucks. It's been a while since I've been to Charlotte, but every time I'd visit friends there it would seem like it grew another billion square miles :-). I contrast that with region I live in, Pittsburgh, that seems to be fucking stuck in the 1970s when all of the insanity created by unions that became too powerful took over and ended what Pittsburgh is know for ... Steel.

Anyway, any time a state starts to create opportunity, the commies/woke/faggots start to move in. In the case of NC, it started in the 1990s with RCP in Raleigh iirc (you'd know better, but that's when I started to notice a shift in NC). West coast idiots would move there to work for the many tech companies in the area due to the high taxes and crime they voted for.

Couple that with good old blackmail and corruption, your state falls into the hands of the faggots. See Colorado and New Mexico for similar stories.

Fortunately, I think a lot of cancer is going to be cut out of NC pretty soon. You based people in that area are good people!! :-). A good friend of mine grew up in the Winston Salem area (name of the town eludes me for some reason) ... He's kind of optimistic about the future now.

His was very quiet. I did not hear about him whatsoever until now.
