A German doctor says, "That is nothing. We can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him out looking for work in four weeks."
A British doctor says, "In my country medicine is so advanced that we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have both of them out looking for work in two weeks."
The Canadian doctor, not to be outdone, interjected, "You guys are way behind. We took a woman with no brains, sent her to Michigan where she became Governor, and now half the state is out looking for work."
And Governor Granholm of Michigan was where on this...?
Damn the unrestricted movement of capital to where it can be used most efficiently! Damn these insourcers! /paleo
How about putting a premium on NOT talking like a smarmy moron?
LOL. You should send that to the Gov herself.
The only thing worse than an American company avoiding high taxes and excessive regulation is a foreign company doing it.
Out talking to Jeff Daniels about making another commercial promoting Michigan?
And yet I heard an ad just this morning on the radio touting Michigan as a haven for business. How can this be? /s
Are we blown away yet, Jen?
Where was the governor? Granholm was raising taxes on corporations.
Why work to limit “corporate greed” when you can eliminate it entirely by driving business out of state. Mission accomplished in Michigan.
Socialism and communism only work when the government can restrict the flow of people and resources. Michigan’s descent into it’s hellish quagmire of “management” is proof that certain parts of the republic still remain.
Detroit is going dustbowl...
A friend of mine is an alcoholic. He thought that his inner demons would leave him alone if he moved “out of this hell hole.” Obviously, you know that they followed him.
The same applies w/ VWoA. They are covering up a staff cut of 40% with this move, and getting $6 million in free cash. However, their demons will follow them. Within 5 years, barring some lucky stroke of luck (like they had with the New Beetle launch), they’ll leave the American market.
Too bad the voters of Michigan are too stupid to see their Leaders are running the state into the Ground. Comerica Bank has moved to Dallas and left Michigan. Which is Anti-business Pro Taxes and Anti-Capitalism. Hope they enjoy their declining standard of living. Idiots who continue to vote for more stupidity. Who is that working for you Michigan?
I am going to steal that. LOL.
I’m happy for Virginia (from whence the radiohead ancestors hail), but am more than glad to be away from the DC area. When all this kicks in, NOVA traffic is going to be even more of a nightmare.
FarFromNugent.
Special thanks to the State Government of Michigan and all the quasi-socialists infesting Lansing... sorry, that was redundant. And my family wonders why I have no desire to return to the Great Lake Stae...
I guess Michigan can only attract people who like show tunes....they arent creating real growth jobs
Winner!
