Been living there for 27 years. Long enough to shed my ‘damn Yankee-mess

You must live in a different part of the state than I do. And apparently aren’t that familiar with all the ones that live in the city, Conyers and Covington. The ones you meet in the bars where they chuckle as they tell that they’re going to turn Georgia BLUE

You must not be familiar with the $1,500,000,000 a year in tax breaks that you, me and the rat of the taxpayers give the movie industry. Allowing them to use it to pay the salaries, travel and living expenses for actors to come to Georgia and film a Netflix movie.

You must not be familiar with Microsoft buying up a large swath in NW Atlanta, where they’re planning on building a massive complex.

You must not be familiar with the Rowen Project, along the 316 corridor with plans to turn into a research and tech hub that will start out with about 18,000 people, with plans to accommodate up to 100,000. Oh yeah…the whole deal
was done in secret with 0 input on the project

You must not be familiar with all the tech folks moving into the Augusta area.

You must not be familiar with your Lt Gov, POS Geoff Duncan, wanting to turn Georgia into the tech capital of the east….

https://ltgov.georgia.gov/technology-capital-east-coast

Georgia is the Silicon Valley of the South. As Lt. Governor, Geoff is laser focused on advancing Georgia so that it becomes the technology capital of the East Coast.

You must not be familiar with the Rivian Project that was also done in complete secrecy and will destroy 2000 acres of beautiful farmland in social Circle and Rutledge. Oh wait, the Californians of Rivian are promising 7500 jobs at the plant for cars that no one buys. Yet Kia makes over 300k cars a year and does it with 2700 employees. Someone’s lying.

Gun legislation, as with ALL legislation, comes from the legislature. All the chief executive does is sign the bill that was passed by the legislature. Constitutional Carry came up every year he was Governor. Only reason he signed it was because he had competition from Perdue.

I’m aware the state is very conservative. However, folks like you don’t seem
to comprehend that NY, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, and even California are all Conservative. But what do all those states have in common? Large Democratic metropolitan areas, whose populations outnumber the rest of the state.

Right now if the populations in about 11 or 12 counties continue to grow, Georgia will maintain a Republican legislature but have governors, etc more like Michigan, Pennsylvania Wisconsin

Oh yeah. And let’s not forget about the creeping influence of Soros, who’s just gave Abrams $1million.

And a careful look at the business objectives of Abrams and Kemp, you’d see that they’re not that far apart.

I could go on.

For starters I don’t go to bars

You should’ve chosen a town a little closer to the mountains

You mention all these projects with no companies attached ( except the Microsoft one). Georgia will never be the Silicon Valley of the south as North Carolina already is and has been for years
