Its a global marketplace.

Yep. So why in the hell would anyone want to build a factory, or refurbish or maintain one in a country with increasingly crazy employment laws, moving-target environmental and workplace standards which change before the EIS can be prepared, the possibility someone will 'discover' some soon-to be protected bug, looming insurance mandates, the possibility a new development would put you out of business becaause the people who just moved in don't like the smell/noise/traffic/dust/color of the building, etfrickingcetera?

It is indeed a global marketplace, and part of that picture includes the business environment--one which government and special interest groups have made bloody hostile--especially compared to elsewhere.

Until you get the NIMBYs and nanny-staters to back off, there are people who will see the facility over the fence as a ticket to prosperity, even if they are elsewhere.

Its the most brilliant string of insults EVAH.

Credit for that goes to FReeper Firehat. One of the old time original FReepers. Since 1997.
Truly a brilliant man. He doesn't post much but when he does every word is a gem.

IATZ. You must be on crack or some other dope. When was the last time someone on the government's dole asked if you need a job?
