Reply to comment by swiftessence in BMW will build a $1.7 billion EV battery factory in South Carolina by Sorin61

I'm from SC and I was shocked how much more I made in other parts of the country. The tradeoff is, in general the cost of living is much lower, so people don't think they're being lowballed even though they dodge potholes on the road after dropping their kids off at shitty schools. I have moved back and though I love my home I also loathe it in many ways. I'm angry at my state because I love it.

The red state delimia: low wages and low cost of living in an area that won't ever fully develop, and this will always have mostly subpar jobs and low standards of living.
