Sawant says after workers “take-over” the Everett Boeing plant; they could build things everyone can use.

Maybe she can turn it into a condom factory.

The condition of the Packard plant had nothing to do with the unions. There were working businesses in the building as recently as 10 years ago.

The corrupt city council in their usual greed saw an opportunity for immediate personal gain and allowed a Chinese scrapper to come in and strip the building. They didn’t even bother to inform the guys working there. I recently saw an interview with a guy who was restoring cars in part of the building. He said he was working and the lights went out and that was the end of it.

“The workers should take over the factories, and shut down Boeing’s profit-making machine,”

Sure, it worked so well in Soviet Russia, Cuba, Zimbabwe, and now Venezuela.

Easy as pie!

While Bammy didn't overtly nationalize Govt. Mtrs or Chrysler, he did destroy the preferred stockholders in favor of the union.

Trust ‘em not, for he wants to destroy America.

And, he has been successful in just about every attempt he has made.

I live about 3 hours to the west of Seattle and I think this is going to be fun to watch.

As if we don’t have enough Loons of our own..we have to import a communist bitch from India. Lord knows the communists and socialists had India on the ropes for years with socialism and worker strikes which put business out of business. They destroyed so man jobs there that the people were forced to go overseas to find work.

That he did. Basically the union owns GM. Don’t want a GM car and never would buy one. They’re the one’s who kept on about made in America by Americans. Have the union tell us why they had to close down when that typhoon hit Thailand and those other countries.

So according to her she wants the workers to take over Boeing and shut it down. They’re out of work. So then what?

Put it all in her name, I am sure she can handle payroll or at least paying for their union benefits if they can’t figure out how to make gumballs or something.

You forget the terrorist Richard Trumka

His camo clad united Mine Workers captured, occupied and closed Virginia mines. He even had Catholic Nuns engaged in anti company operations. Flynn, the IRA terrorist money collector, came from Boston to laud the nuns and applaud their efforts to block roads and hiways.

One Boeing decides to move, nothing made buy those in seatle should be considered safe

Too many inspectors for one. You have stage inspection by Boeing, the customer and the FAA. Then you have final inspections by Boeing, the customer and the FAA. Each part of the assembly process is inspected. Then there’s flight testing before being released to the customer.

She’ll make the taxpayers pay. In a way her election was a good thing. We’re seeing how a real Liberal president, worse than FDR, tries to ruin the country. People of Seattle will see what socialism is like right with front row seats. If they thought that the liberals who ran Seattle were bad ....

I’m sure there are MANY places in the Sunny South that would greet them with open arms.

The Michold assembly plant in New Orleans used to maunfacture the external space shuttle tanks. Now there are some tenants, but it is underused, because it is so huge. (Saturn V rocket bottom right)

Will they ever tire of telling people how to run things that they could NEVER create?

“We can re-tool the machines to produce mass transit like buses, instead of destructive, you know, war machines,”

OOOOooooh, I feel so much safer knowing I’m protected
by weapons of mass transit.

Good lord, where DO these rats come from?
