New Orleans carrying the whole South for food and music? Take them out, and I'm not sure it's particularly close for those categories.
Well for just you it isn't. When we are arguing, oh I don't know, relative strength and weaknesses of huge regions of the country (hint: that's what we are doing) then aggregating number of jobs would probably be an important stat.
This.
Banking for certain. Quantity as well. What I love about the North is the diversity. You can find all kinds of people everywhere. That's something missing here in the south that needs to be here IMO. I also conceded private institutions of higher learning. Hard to argue against the likes of Harvard, Yale, etc. There's plenty. I just think one word answers to these questions are silly, that's all.Ok Commish. Keep chipping away. Is there anything you'll concede to the North?
Okay. When nine of the top 15 cities for jobs in the U.S. are in the South and One is in the Northeast/Midwest, what does that tell you?
Missouri was a divided state. Men went to both sides. They had a star on both flags. And there was an interstate war between the two sides during the Civil War.
Not just NO. The musical heritage from the south that contributed to Rock is a huge win for Dixie.
Where are a majority of Americans employed? Where are the majority of jobs? Economic activity? I understand that the South is growing and faster that the North. In 30 years it may have flipped. But for now, the North still has the lead in economic categories.
so we're debating which was better 100 years ago or which produces more quality now? I don't really know which is better in terms of music so I'll concede the point.
In GDP, yes, but if you're trying to go get a job, which is what individuals care about, the South is a much better bet right now.
Leave the Northerner alone. They like to cry before they drink. I know it's weird.
Pfft. Even the paper describes it as a cute nicotine poisoning. It's like it's made for kids!
Yes, I know the history. Let's get real. Nobody travels through Missouri and associates it with the north.
I gave you music, food, weather. Why must you keep hurting me Hank?Leave the Northerner alone. They like to cry before they drink. I know it's weird.
I'm defending you. Let it all out.I gave you music, food, weather. Why must you keep hurting me Hank?Leave the Northerner alone. They like to cry before they drink. I know it's weird.
The only people that like Texas are those that live there.
And the military probably. Tough to figure on this one...do we go with where the large numbers of troops are or do we go with where their "superiors" are?
Yes. Much. I definitely give the "tall building" award to the North. Also, lots more (and better) basements.
The jobs thing doesn't ring true to me. Granted I live in Atlanta, but all I know is that people are flocking from everywhere to Atlanta, Charlotte, Texas...for jobs.
I'm willing to concede this. But to be fair, many of the jobs growing in the South are North-based businesses.
Suppose you don't want to have your kid shot walking to school.
Wait two months, for the ruling in Louisiana. It's going to happen everywhere, and everyone knows it.
