    The pattern is 80% of them are liberal havens, why do you think those manufacturing plants are leaving the liberal cities at a much higher rate bozo?

    Let's walk through a little economics here. Companies compete, you know. Not just for customers, but for stock holders. Why would one company willing submit to lower profit margins when it's competition is seeking easier and cheaper ways to make it's products elsewhere? If a company did that, it would be a company no more relatively quickly.

    You're pissed off because labor costs too much, so companies seek ways to cheapen expenses. What is your proposed solution?

  5. there is something a little offputting about having Black Democrats burn all your cities where you do your manufacturing.. like, talented people move away, far away.. and loyalty from company to town kind of becomes a not-very-important-thingy...

  7. Because liberal workers do not like to exploited. They fight, the companies leave. You and your ilk are of the opinion that some bread crumbs are better than no bread crumbs.

    You honestly believe that companies have ever put anything before shareholders? Wasn't it you, in the other thread, stating that tribalism comes before country? This is a pure textbook example of that. The corporate exists to provide profit to it's shareholders. When companies try to screw shareholders, they die. End of story.

  9. Yup. The top 1% get richer though and that's good right?

    One must remember also. The entire nation is still reeling from the economic catastrophe and housing collapse of the Bush years and will for quite some time. Poorer communities are hardest hit and take longer to recover.

    Liberal workers can do whatever they like, but they (and you) must understand that Labor is just like any other product or service. Those in the market for it will go where they can get the best product for their money. That means cheapest and most efficient. That is what competition is designed on. If consumers/companies could not shop around for the best product or service, then those selling that product or service would have a monopoly.

    Shopping around for the best labor prices allows consumers to benefit from keeping prices low. Liberals like the one side of the equation, hate the other. But as it is with everything in their arguments, Math simply does not care.
