Voices: Quit complaining



Don’t the people of Carthage have anything better to do other than complain all the time?

Renewable Environmental Solutions is helping the economy and employs a lot of people, and most spend their money and live in Carthage.

I was wondering — does their money smell when they purchase things and pay rent, mortgage payments, utilities, etc.?

Would you rather have RES shut down and put people on unemployment, and when unemployment runs out, on welfare, of which we have enough of now?

If it’s not RES, it’s the adult video store outside of the city limits. What’s next to complain about? Why don’t you plant a few flowers, go out every morning and smell the roses. Get some kind of life. If I was employed at RES, I would not waste my money in your town.

So, quit complaining. Be glad that you have a factory there to keep people employed. After all, you may want to tax their dollar again for something.
