Manufacturing plants still get their raw materials and ship out finished product by rail. It's a vital artery.

My irritation with Texas is usually that the deals give away more in abatements and incentives than get replenished. The maintenance to roadways and utility usage usually leaves the average Texas resident with more of a burden than benefit.

I wasnt talking about rail in general of course industry needs rail and Texas has plenty of it

as far as giving away too much in incentives I dont remember an instance when this has happened
could you give an example of this

The incentives often are tax abatements, and every locale in competition for a company will grant some version of them.

I've read of course about new interchanges being built off freeways and brownfields being decontaminated to attract a company.

My feelings are largely an opinion.
As CD mentioned, tax abatement packages of all types are a normal and expected part of enticing new business to an area. I don't have a problem with them. I feel like the Texas leadership loves touting "low taxes" so much that they fail to fund necessary infrastructure projects - leaving bridges, roads, water supplies, and sewers to degrade past the point of safe usage. I believe that Texas often gives deals to attract business that don't pay Texans back fully in compensation or improvement.

I had seen parts of that movie before and didn't get it, I then watched its entirety on a plane trip (nothing else looked watchable). It was pretty good, it got in a group of silly movies that I like, like Roadhouse.

I've never seen Airplane all the way through.

They don't have that on planes though.

We're headed to Hawaii tomorrow, I'll watch something.

There are some quotable lines in Lewbowski, and the cast is fantastic, but overall I think it's one of their weaker efforts. Raising Arizona, on the other hand, is a masterpiece.

I was musing about how much they would get offered by the state for that move.

Wait, I thought you were in favor of enticing big business to your own state? How else do you think they do it, without tax abatements and subsidies?
