Ongoing NC GOP debacle thread

“I don’t like it when I’m trying to look at a billboard and deciding where to turn,” Jarvis said.

“Billboards distract drivers,” Molly Diggins, former director of the North Carolina Sierra Club, said. “That’s the safety issue.”

Pretty much. NC does seem to have more billboards than other states. Never really thought about that.

Those are dumb complaints. The problem is that they’re an eyesore.
 
They're only an eyesore if you pay attention to them. If you pay attention, they're a distraction.

Proposed billboard measure would "uglify" North Carolina, opponents say • NC Newsline

House Bill 198 would allow billboard owners to expand the area in which they can trim and remove trees for outdoor advertising

"Because they are the officially designated State Flower, dogwoods are exempt from the bill."

If It passes I'm about to be the Jonnyappleseed dogwoods.
 
SOTB has to be a giant money laundering operation for some drug cartel right? Does anyone actually go there?
 
Checked it out out of morbid curiousity about 15 years ago. Half the skeeball machines were broken

It was a more racist Buccees/flea market decades before (after?) its time.

We stopped there one time when I was little. It was decrepit then, although I did purchase a switchblade comb.
 
I stopped there to use the bathroom on my way to admitted students day at South Carolina law. I was the only person there.
 
It must not have been that profitable. A Canada themed North of the Border at the NC/VA border was an obvious expansion.
 
Surely this law won't hold up in court. And any Republican who claims they support the GOP because "it's the party of small government" should be laughed out of the room (or off the message boards) at this point. Micro-management Big Brother government at its finest.
 
GOP, fucking jokes. they did a full 180 from my body my choice.

NC GOP gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson spoke to the annual NC GOP Convention in Greensboro yesterday. In his speech he vowed "to remake state government" in a more conservative direction if he wins. He particularly focused on remaking public ed, and attacked "pro-diversity efforts and “critical race theory” lessons in schools, which he described as garbage. He criticized teachers and other school officials who, he said, see themselves “all-powerful bureaucrats who think they know more than you, know your children better than you, who believe it’s okay to feed your children a steady diet of communism and pornography.” So apparently school administrators and teachers are knowingly teaching porn and communism to kids.

Robinson also said he would take such state agencies as public health and environmental regulations in a "new direction" if he was elected. And for what it's worth, most recent polls show him either tied or slightly leading Democratic candidate Josh Stein, although the number of "undecided" voters is very large in most polls, especially compared to the Trump/Biden race. I know of some veteran teachers who have flat-out said they will take early retirement if he or the crazy NC State Superintendent of Public Instruction candidate wins in November.
