@ChrisLeaTV Those are the DMA numbers

Substantially larger isn’t the case for the two DMA’s. City of Raleigh and city of Charlotte.. sure. Those numbers don’t take into account for the growth of Durham, Franklin, Johnston, Orange & Moore counties which is all a part of the Raleigh DMA which is what I’m talking about

@ChrisLeaTV “May overtake”. The greater Raleigh area have 60-70 pellle a day moving there. Charlotte has 150+ a day. Already substantially larger and more people a day moving there

Calls the The Raleigh market a very small market but says Nashville is the best option, but fails to realize the Raleigh DMA is larger than the Nashville DMA and one place behind Charlotte (and may overtake that too) 😂😂😂

@MargoinWNC Yes the 25 per person round trip is excruciatingly high. You are choosing the wrong hill to die on

Teachers can afford tour buses to protest. Understand what you're dealing with.

@MargoinWNC What other method would you take? They’ve exhausted all avenues and yet the State still does not listen

I advocate for teacher pay increases. I DO NOT advocate those same teachers abandon their jobs on a scheduled work day to protest. And-teachers here are 14 miles from Tennessee AND Georgia. I understand. It's the method they choose I adamantly disagree agree with.

@unwiredtourist @planblj @mattvanswol You don’t make 60k until your 15th year teaching in NC. That is straight from the last budget passed

Teachers dondeserve fair pay (NC average~$60k) but non-teaching staff (consultants, “other professionals,” and supervisors) have exploded ~90% since the mid-2000s while student numbers barely grew. That’s where the bureaucracy money is going, not classrooms. Shutting down school for a rally to demand more funding, instead of trimming admin bloat, uses kids as pawns & forces working parents to burn vacation days. Education should come first.

GOOD MORNING ASHEVILLE NC SCHOOLS... Have fun chanting "Kids over Corporations"... ...while MY kid sits at home BECAUSE YOU CANCELLED SCHOOL and I burn vacation days I was SAVING FOR HIM!!! WHY ARE YOU USING MY KIDS EDUCATION AS A PROP FOR YOUR POLITICS???!!!!!!!!!!!!

@miles_commodore The right always screamed about raising minimum wage saying it would massively increase costs to customers. That proved not true. The right is against people and for corporations.

The left has been saying repeatedly that the tariffs will lead to additional costs being passed down to us the consumers. My question is why don’t they ever apply that same logic when they are screaming about raising corporate taxes on businesses?

@Doggonitagain The irony of this post. So Cooper was bringing manufacturing to NC. Then Trumps ILLEGAL tariffs, which Americans paid for and will have to pay for again to pay back, caused them to pull out. The IQ of people is astounding.

Way to go, Roy Cooper — NC taxpayers just gifted $32.6 million to a Chinese subsidiary that’s now ghosting the state thanks to Trump’s tariffs and subsidy crackdown. Masterclass in economic foresight, Governor.

@hughbeamont @yinzer_g Yeah Charlotte isn’t a welfare haven. The State may be but Charlotte isn’t. Second largest banking city in the United States

@yinzer_g All of them are bad options.. especially the red state cities, just welfare havens, I know, the irony

MLB expansion?? Charlotte, NC - Good option Montreal, CN - No to Canada Oakland, CA - Just lost their team, why go back? Nashville, TN - Best option Orlando, FL - can't fill seats in the other 2 FL baseball stadiums Portland, OR - disaster of a city Raliegh, NC - Decent option, very small market Sacramento, CA - Would cost $5B to build a $750M stadium Salt Lake City, UT - Good option, small market. Vancouver, CN - No to Canada If they were going to add 2 teams, I'd probably go with Nashville and either Salt Lake City or Charlotte.

@yinzer_g @lritchie_13 I don’t think you understand how that plays against Raleigh. Nashville would have more than 1/3 of the people traveling from more than 150 miles. It’s a tourist town, people need things to do during the day which baseball offers tourists

@lritchie_13 150 miles?? Who drives 150 miles to go see baseball games.

@CedarPosts They added a low income apartment near where I live. The police are here almost every day at it. Before there was never any issue

Every week, Every day, Every time I leave my driveway I'm entertained by stupid like this. Its endless, mind blowingly stupid out there in Charlotte. Charlotte needs 1,000 additional police officers, the Mecklenburg County Detention Center has 1983 inmates this morning and needs to double in size. We need to double the number of Courtrooms, Prosecutors and Judges. Yet Charlotte City Council continues to approve rezoning for multi family "projects" and low income housing errr "Affordable Housing". In five years we will double the number of low income residents that for whatever the "why" that need 4 times the law enforcement interaction. Charlotte City Council has zero plans to build the infrastructure to deal with the explosive demands for basic public services by adding more and more low income residents as upper income resident flee the city. Crazy stuff like this is just a small indication of Charlotte's continued quest towards shithole excellence.

@ImBreckWorsham Where tf will the money come from?

Watch. A week before the midterms Trump will drop the $5,000 DOGE payout and $2,000 tariff dividend checks. Its literally the only hope they have left.

@EricLDaugh His term doesn’t end until later on the board, unusual move but not unprecedented

🚨 WTF?! Jerome Powell ADMITS he's staying on the Federal Reserve Board when his Chair term ends May 15 because of his Trump Derangement Syndrome Powell is now accusing Trump's DOJ of "BATTERING" the Fed Mr. "Institutionalist" is a massive HYPOCRITE, trampling norms! "My concern is really about the series of legal attacks on the Fed, which threaten our ability to conduct monetary policy without considering political factors." "And I want to note here, this has nothing whatever to do with verbal criticism by elected officials." "But these legal actions by the administration are unprecedented in our 113 year history and there are ongoing threats of additional such actions." "I worry that these attacks are battering the institution and putting at risk the thing that really matters to the public, which is the ability to conduct monetary policy without taking into consideration political factors." Powell abysmally WASTED funds for the renovations and is now furious Trump is investigating how it happened. Utterly insane.

@MargoinWNC They literally could not pass a budget with a super majority before they lost it in 2025. That is historical fact.

Well, you can't count because they don't have a super majority. Brush up on your civics bro

@Jeanne2999432 @PGLPT45 @MargoinWNC You are delusional. GOP can’t even pass a budget with a super majority.

@pintoneous @PGLPT45 @MargoinWNC You don't know poverty until your career is gifted to another. Taxpayers are ready to show you poverty, versus you indoctrinating our children to Marxist ideology.

Teachers that leave their job to protest should be treated as job abandonment and handled accordingly.

@Jeanne2999432 @PGLPT45 @MargoinWNC It may be a little hard for you to comprehend, we can’t recruit or keep teachers in NC because we pay them poverty wages.

@pintoneous @PGLPT45 @MargoinWNC Thank God for those displaced from work by Immigrants, we're abundantly available.

@LeighBrown It’s hard to support the students when you are living in poverty because the GoP doesn’t want to pay decent wages to teachers

How do people not see the Marxism in this? ‘Support the workers’ is in direct opposition to their statement of ‘support of students.’ Fire every teacher who shows up for this. And homeschool. Get your precious children out of their clutches.

@abdbaas2 @howtofornicate @zerohedge They already bought Trump, he guaranteed those gpus. If he pulls out they spill the beans

@howtofornicate @zerohedge They can't. They need the GPUs

*SAUDI ARABIA PULLS FUNDING FROM LIV GOLF: WSJ

@ThePPseedsShow @unusual_whales No he doesn’t, he is still on the board. The president can do the fed chair…

@unusual_whales The president has the ability to fire him

BREAKING: Powell has said he will stay on as Governor for a period of time at the Federal Reserve, and will stay on because of the actions of the adminstration. "No choice but to stay."

Hey @CBSSports can you fix your damn audio for the champions league? The audio is 2-3 seconds ahead. How hard is this really to see and fix.

@nazzobetweeting No the funny part is they will have to travel from bum fuck to Washington DC to get them

conspiracy theory: the maga dumbasses who never had a passport (and were never going to get one) are now gonna line up for these right when the GOP is trying to enact voter ID laws so strict that passports will be your best bet to meet the requirements
