You know, I wasn't even thinking about it, but I have recently hired any number of kids from MI to work elsewhere.

That probably represents $2m a year loss in economic activity to Anne Arbor.

Oh, well. Sorry.

There is one particular firm up there I used to work for - I had a long discussion with the powers-that-be, about how they were not paying me enough.

They disagreed.

I moved to a new company, where I make about four times as much.

Then I hired their entire staff.

I wonder if they regret that?

To tell you the truth, I wanted out of MI anyway. The combination of the soviet socialist government and the cigarrette taxes were driving me nuts.

But, hey, VA appreciates all the new revenue.

Drive on, MI. Keep doing what you are doing.

I need another 47 employees.

The old saying in the 80's. Last one out of Michigan please turn out the lights.

I think the Dallas area is "Michigan Southwest" and Tampa/Orlando/Lakeland/St Pete is "Michigan SE".
