Well, spoon feeding these industries
sticks a knife into the taxpayers
and I say fork that.

Wow!

$88K

That’s like a really small CNC or maybe the net payroll costs for a janitor.

Who the Fk are you kidding Chuckie? Upstate NY is an extension of Appalachia. You and your buddies in the State government have decimated what was once a manufacturing powerhouse. Now the only jobs are in the state run universities (there are about 20 of them) or in the jail system.

You nailed it! SUNY Binghamton is by far the largest employer in the area. Companies all left Johnson City, Endicott, etc. Now they are building Broome County CC up and spending $$ like water. Only an idiot would open a plant in NY state.

Instead of government cronies handing out federal money to companies they “like” ... why not just lower business taxes?

Over 20 years ago, a business consulting pal won a gig advising NYS how to attract business, public-private partnerships, etc. He was really gong-ho to apply his business knowledge and really re-ignite NYS.

Having grown up there through age 14 and having paid attention to the adults, I knew it was a fool’s errand. Some things like Illinois and New York simply cannot change.

The fracking ban consigned upstate to permanent tobacco road status.

Dang, you’re right. I should have known better, too. I worked for a startup tech company once. We had great technology and sought federal R&D money to convert it to military applications. Our CEO made a number,of “campaign contributions” to help our case...and we won some great awards.
