Somewhere in the country there is a community crying to have this plant ... and then really crying after they get it.

Somewhere in the country there is a community crying to have this plant ... and then really crying after they get it.

Here in eastern North Carolina, there are a number of paper mills that buy locally-grown yellow pine logs to make brown kraft paper... the stuff they make corrugated cardboard out of, and paper shopping bags.

The plants stink to high heaven. They smell like God's own poot after a 3-day cabbage bender.

The locals neither mind nor, really, seem to notice. "Smells like money," they'll tell you if you ask.

From you on another thread ...

Huy Fong Sriracha Controversy [wikipedia]:

The City of Irwindale offered a low interest loan to Huy Fong Foods in 2010 to locate its Sriracha factory in Irwindale.

Huy Fong took the loan and contributed $250,000 a year to the city as part of the deal.

Huy Fong built a $40-million factory planned to generate about $300 million a year in sales.

Shortly after Huy Fong paid off the loan early and stopped contributing to the city, Huy Fong became involved in lawsuits brought by its neighbors and the city of Irwindale, who complain of the odors of jalapeño pepper and garlic generated by the plant.

Typical racist foreigner - pays off his loan early and forgets that interest is forever. Wouldn't be surprised if the city reappraises the property for double it current value.

I didn't think momma's meat loaf could get any better till I added some 'rooster' sauce to it. Dang! I won't make one without it now.
