Not sure again…

Well…have been sitting here and I could say I have been wracking my brain to come up with a topic, but that’s not true…have been getting hooked on bobsled, skeleton, and luge since they started to show it on one of my channels…pretty cool….one thing I did want to talk about is the idiot governors who are falling all over themselves to try to buy jobs from Boeing since the company screwed it’s workers in Washington and decided to build the next plane anywhere but there. These governors are doing the same thing that Tennessee did for Kia a few years back when they built them a factory to the tune of over $500 million dollars and gave to to them for free…along with tax incentives that will allow them to not pay any taxes…ever! Now, the governors of many states are upping the ante with Boeing…with incentives that will measure in the billions of dollars and make sure that each job will cost over $500 thousand dollars. I am just so tired of profitable companies being allowed or even encouraged to play the states off against each other to transfer taxpayer wealth to their owners….especially since one of the sweeteners is always to hold wages down by a non-union workforce…what I don’t understand is why Boeing would want to do that again…when many of the problems with the Dreamliner launch have been traced back to the low pay, low skilled labor that they used at the plants that made the sub assemblies….just another incidence of the blindness that comes from seeking lower cost labor as the silver bullet to profitability…and not innovation..geez…
