See, this kinda sucks. Upstate is not TOO bad (but you still have a bunch of liberals there too). Upstate is a heck of a lot more sane than Albany and/or New York City, yet THEY have to absorb the effects of Downstate's insanity.
Just, damn.

NC has turned purple for the same reason. It’s easier to run into someone from New Jersey or New York in some NC cities than native-born now.

I remember reading that after the German rocket scientists were located to Huntsville, they loved the area and let their friends and relatives in Germany in on the fact.
A lot of them moved there.

On April 2, 2002, Hyundai Motor Company (HMC), Koreas largest automotive manufacturer, announced it would construct a $1 billion automotive assembly and manufacturing plant in
Montgomery, Ala.I own two Hyundia Sonata's built there. Great cars.

I feel sorry for the upstaters. It’s not their fault.
This isn’t entirely good news. Now NY, and soon Mass. Senators and Representatives, will have no economic reason at all to oppose Anti-2nd Amendment legislation.
Heretofore, they had some constituents who “got it.”

The advertisements are a tacit admission that high taxes are a big economic problem.

To: Future Snake Eater
The only serious attempt at splitting any American territory came around the 1860’s.

The closest thing remaining to what it must have been like is Orange County.Modern day Dallas is a lot like how I remember California back in the 80's.

The idiot democrats that control the State have destroyed it. NY will go bankrupt and cost will push more business out of the State. Communists Democrats never learn and may be considered more dangerous than terrorists.

“Upstate needs to break away from the city. The two are terminally at odds in every respect. Form a new state, secede, whatever. Its not working and is killing a beautiful part of the country.”
This is the same with most cities around the country. There really isn’t any way the voting process can represent the people of ‘Upstate’, or rural Illinois, or any other flyover area where you have a massive libtard city calling the shots. This massive strongholds of liberalism are completely dependent upon the agriculture and manufacturing of the rural areas they so arrogantly thumb their noses at. Cut off their supply of the fruits of rural hard work and see how quickly they find those dumb Christian conservative, flag waving, country folks really might be worth listening to.

This is it exactly. The way to limit the overreach by the cities is landowner voting only.

Only part of TX with a California feel to me is the Hill Country plus Austin and San Antonio. In general it’s pretty liberal by TX standards. Dallas is a very dynamic place with a booming economy but it doesn’t do it for me, can’t quite put my finger on why.

Does Remington offer them the chance to relocate to Huntsville?
I bet they do. It takes a lot of highly skilled machinists to make firearms. It would be a lot cheaper to pay their help to move than to train new employees.
