It sucked to lose the headquarters but the most valuable jobs stayed in Washington (or are already in South Carolina). As a state, I would rather have thousands of manufacturing and engineering jobs then tens or maybe hundreds of corporate jobs.

Which city/state is more unfriendly to business? Chicago, Illinois or Seattle, Washington?
the only reason they didn't move lock stock and two smoking barrels is because they couldn't readily replace those folks somewhere else.

The executives actually relocated.
I'd like to add that many believe the move to Chicago brought on the current 737 issues, as the Engineers lost their direct and local chain of command. So, it wasn't just bodies that were lost.

I don’t doubt it. Although i think Boeing was already headed down that road.....that just exacerbated the issue.

Funny how nothing was done until the Mayor's house was directly impacted. Same story with Portland. :rofl:

Awesome. :lol: :clap: Need more of that. :nod: Dumbass protestors weren’t just standing in the middle of ‘a road’, but in the middle of an Interstate. Absolutely deserved to be run over..

Already the Left is calling it another Charlottesville, but from what I have read, the driver was African American.

That won't fit the narrative.

For what it is worth, he doesn't seem to run them over on purpose. Couldn't see around that van and was traveling too fast to make a correction. Bad situation for the guy.

I’ve been to 100 auto-ped accidents and one hallmark of the fatal ones is that the pedestrians’ shoes are always knocked off - always

You can see the shoes just a-flyin in the slowed down zoomed video

Well, shoes go flyin in some nonfatal autopeds too... but not all

So my observation still stands! I never saw a dead autoped that didn’t have bare feets

Dude...just check yourself. That’s not “awesome”. And we don’t “need more of that.”

That makes you a colossal douchebag...regardless of your political feels.

We don’t need more of what?
protests in roadways? Or roadkill?

It seems to me that if you don’t stand in roadways then SG doesn’t get his wish

I was replying to BDK. We don’t need more unnecessary violence like that or to applaud it. But justify it all you want I suppose.

Ok, don’t stand in roadways and BDK doesn’t get his wish.

Easy peasy!

BTW- large social gatherings are a bad idea - sez every Democrat and Never Trumper

You should be concerned about those nonexistent AntiTeefers not wearing masks

I am. Thought the protests were a huge risk and hypocritical.

Still doesn’t excuse applauding what happened in that video but keep trying to politicize it and circle around BDK’s wagon if you’d like. :thumb:

Wrong. There was ZERO reason for those people to be blocking an interstate. Don’t stand in roadways, don’t get run over. Simple. Interstates are for vehicles, not people. Don’t be a whiny bitch.

"unnecessary violence"?

Did the black guy who hit them do it on purpose? Looks like he was trying to avoid them.

What's unnecessary was to be protesting in the middle of an interstate, but what the hell do I know? :coffee:

And there was zero reason for him to be driving on a closed interstate. They were trying to figure out how he got on it and that maybe he drove up an off ramp.

It doesn’t sound much like he was a casual motorist suddenly confronted by rioters. Witness accounts and the video suggests he sped up. He also kept on moving, post strike.

I don’t know about you but when I’m driving on a closed interstate and come across that situation I proceed with caution or stop rather than gunning it. If I accidentally hit two people I’m thinking about stopping again.

There was next to zero noise made about it from Dem leaders in Congress and even a governor or mayor or two encouraged them

But look at the news and this is solely a failure of Trump leadership

And I’m not circling wagons with BDK - I am almost completely agreeing with him - anywhere else these morons make the Darwin Awards and we all laugh about it

Put Antifa or BLM shirts on them and you’re suddenly a drama queen about it

At the very least my reaction to something like this isn’t “awesome” and clapping emojis.

It’s just sad.

most of this is incorrect assumptions

You sure are spilling a lot of ink defending people on foot on interstates at night

BTW - the way he behaved after hitting them was perfectly consistent with every accidental auroped I have ever seen

Incorrect assumptions based on police reports. Well see how it plays out. Would you be on that freeway in your Jag? Would you gun it through and keep going?

WTF is auroped?
