Reply to comment by fragnet in TIL that George "Washington" Carver never formally used Washington as a middle name. He originally chose the middle initial W at random to ensure accurate mail delivery. Someone once asked if the "W" stood for Washington and Carver said "Why not?" He signed his name as George or George W. Carver. by AspireAgain
It stands for Nerdburger

I agree 100%. It says a lot about the expectations and value of labor in n SC.

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 BMW plants in SC are pretty up to date with pollution and energy policies even if they tend to make a show of it.

The people that actually work for beamer have a good gig. The people who work there as "contractors" or whatever not so much. I live in Fountain Inn where there are several plants that supply bmw and they seem pretty hit or miss as far as places to work.

That's one of the most gnarly hippy jumps I've seen.
