Maybe the town should hire these guys for their economic development contacts in China. Their outreach efforts would seem to easily surpass the lackluster Springfield Regional Development Corporation.
ReplyDeleteMany truths are said in jest.
DeleteNah, that's what we have Wall Street for! \
DeleteKeep an eye out for the movie, "The Big Short." It should be in town in the next few weeks. Wall Street makes the SRDC look like Mother Teresa.
It is actually scary what is happening here. The bad guys are winning and the honest people are leaving the State for safer areas.
ReplyDeleteNo, they aren't winning; they're too disorganized. You want an example of bad guys winning, look up Jefferson "Soapy" Smith of Whitehorse, Alaska, 1898, or Rahm Emanuel vs. Chicago public schools, 2013-15. Those who leave the state for safer areas are, to paraphrase Ben Franklin, pursuing an illusory security. The rest of us stay and fight to get real security.
DeleteThis is happening EVERYWHERE in the USA, where do you think people are leaving for?
DeleteMelody, some of us know what the rest of the country has to offer.
