“Take a number”
I’ll take 5,000,000!
$55k would go a long ways I’m guessing in Wyoming. California not so much. I wonder what their payroll was in California? I’m guessing the wages are inflated along with everything else in California?
Also, NO STATE INCOME TAX in Wyoming will make that payroll buy a whole lot more...
OMG there was a firearms manufacturer in CA. what the HELL have they been doing here this long???? Did their CEO finally come out of a coma and realize where the HELL they were trying to run a firearms business!!!!
You are right, of course. I missed that part that it was five million per year - read it as five million over five years. Whoops!
East = West, but you knew that.
Easy to misread.
Likely no one would have considered the amounts if you hadn’t spoken up.
I made the wise move in 2010 and quite frankly I’m flourishing like a MFer.
God Bless the Republic of Texas.
Amen.
Sorry brother.....!!
