ynot – ynot just pull some bogus numbers out the air?

Got news for you – the folks in Washington make waaaay more than $28 (I have an uncle in Seattle).

And when those folks in WA go on strike over their “low” pay guess what happens to the first production line (call that line Tom)? Do you think Boeing is only going to run with the one line in SC (call that line Dick)? Only if your a machinist union kool-aid drinker.

South Carolina will then be the proud parents of line number three (the “Harry” line).

And Boeing will have pulled off The Great Escape from union hell in Washington.

3800 jobs in Charleston over 7 years Hooray.

What about the little towns in the state with the record numbers of unemployment?

All economic efforts are to fit big wigs molds, not needs of the people.

Allowing Boeing to decrease hourly rates of employees from around$28.00/hr to $14.00… and we are supposed to be happy.

Yep right.

This is nice. It means that they can lie about why this plant was won, or at least absolutely conceal some of the reasons it was won.

Isn’t this a little like the guys who dance with the ‘buck-toothed’ girl at the High School prom when everyone finds out her daddy is rich and will pay out of both legs for anyone who treats his little girl like a princess?

The Free Market seems to have many fathers when the music is playing.

Dance boys – dance!
