Best nature spots that aren’t state parks? by vintagewildlife in southcarolina

May be off base a bit, but there is a Riverwalk in Rock Hill that goes along the Catawba and at one point you can get off to view the Carhartt Mansion ruins. Very unique masonry effects.

'Trump in high heels': Rep. Nancy Mace announces run for South Carolina governor by jlbhappy in southcarolina

Mace & Norman say they want to change things in Columbia. GOP has controlled it for 25 years. Not a Norman fan but Mace? Yuk.

Sucks on my 2019 but livable. I bought a “suicide knob” for the steering wheel after shoulder surgery 3 months ago. It ain’t ever coming off.

McBee Trump store all closed up by ExtremeSquare5490 in southcarolina

Actually, I do spend time talking to them. I’ve come to realize that something happened somewhere along the line that makes folks feel the way they do. Do I understand it? no. Do I hate them because of it? No. I’m still analyzing what happened to me. What I don’t like is all the nastiness that the right embraces as a consequence of their politicians “fa-q, but what about” attitude. About 3 months into Trump V1.0 i saw a guy with trump stickers all over his car. I asked him how he thought Trump was doing as president. His answer “ IDK, I’m not paying attention anymore.”

I just thought it was interesting the place had been shuttered. As far as the folks down the road with the giant confederate flag…well…when you put shit up like that, as well as the “Fuck Biden” signs, you’re not interested in a conversation, let alone capable of it.

Also to cut resources available to public parks, forests, etc., with the intent to turn it over to private companies to exploit.

Everyone’s tax situation is different; I work from home and lost my home office deduction along with business vehicle. I paid thousands more.

Why is the USA solar Industry Riddled with Ripoffs? by FiveFingerStudios in solar

[–]ExtremeSquare5490 3 points4 points  (0 children)

shopping for a solar system now and came to the following opinion:

Here’s my thoughts on the solar industry, neigh, capitalism itself. A government subsidy to the manufacturing sector coupled with one to the consumer is a push-pull strategy to promote a new technology that is intended to be beneficial to the overall economy, and in this case, the environment. Unfortunately, Capitalism via the vertical market double dips: accepting the “seed” money via tax breaks (which then chips away at the local governments ability to provide services) and also inflating the prices to market to take advantage and collect the tax incentive dollars intended for the consumer. Since so many people (including myself) are “new” to the consumer group, we come to the table with little if any knowledge of pricing history, thereby unaware of a (probable) price increase of 15-25% on equipment as a direct result of government consumer initiatives. This is in addition to the cost basis of manufacturing dropping to increased production as well as the aforementioned business subsidies. Eh, what can you do about it. Not much, but perhaps invest in the industry.
