Windhoek Namibia has been recycling 100% of their waste water back in to the public water supply for decades. Wonder when CA will pick up that idea?

Too true. Many of the gas lines coming out of the wells on the western slope of Colorado are running straight to Kalifornia so the commies don't have to disturb their green paradise.

We are a "right to work" state where unions cannot blackmail employees.
We have plentiful, inexpensive water.
We have plentiful inexpensive electricity.
We have a pro-business legislature, with a Republican "super-majority" in both
the House and the Senate.
Did I mention we have no income tax?
We have a structure protective of doctors accused of malpractice.
In most counties, you can register your car for a year for less than $80.
We have a very "Pro 2nd Amendment" legal structure, and we expect citizens
to be responsible for their actions.
Did I mention we have no income tax? Not State, Not County, Not City. None.
We will not allow you to trash the environment, but we balance the laws and
regulations of the state to strike a fair position between growth, manufacture, transportation and ecology.
Did I mention we have no income tax?
In Kalifornia, $750,000 will buy you a two bedroom hovel. In Tennessee, $750,000 will buy you an estate, with acreage."


No wonder Beretta moved here, Hankook Tire, Saturn (years ago) Volkswagen, LG, etc. etc.

"Oh, and by the way, we have a state constitutional mandate for a balanced budget, and our state
consolidated retirement system is funded at over 94% percent."

and so on.

I am so proud to be a citizen of Tennessee, and I pity those on the left coast
and other left leaning environs whose situation can only get worse.

Forgot a few, Want your Amazon delivered fast come to Tennessee we have the countries largest transportation hub and one of the largest Amazon warehouses.

Don't want to build sandbag walls to keep the Ocean out of your house ? Tennessee has lots of low priced high ground for sale.

Get fast internet the power company is offering fiber optic as a bundle service.
they don't call Chattanooga the GIGA city for nothing.
