Damn cheap Okie labor taking our good jobs! We need some trade barriers! Stop the flow of Texas jobs to 3rd-world states now! Your job could next. Sent off to some hell hole like Louisiana or Arkansas by greedy multi-state corporations.
From that Bridgeland story:
the home-to-business ratio in far northwest Harris County is 75 percent to 25 percent.
What does this statistic mean?
100% * count(homes)/count(businesses)?
That doesn’t make any sense. 75% to 25% of the ratio of some other jurisdiction, like the City of Houston?
The Katy Freeway expansion has saved 10 minutes? Cool!! That’s only $280 million per minute!!
lol
Sorry Devon Energy secretaries, you be redundant.
