Emphasis mine.

Lost jobs don’t count. How many jobs did Obama save?

[Cindy]

Thread bump.

All 40,000 voted for Obama. Should we feel sorry for them ?

[Stosh]

My advice to Toyota: leave town before Obama decides to give 55% of your operation to the UAW.

Gotta repay those campaign favors, you know.

[GnuHere]

Hopey/changey. I feel sorry for the farmers WITHOUT WATER.

How in the hell do you know that?!? Kiss my Silicon Valley @$$.

OK 39,973 but it doesn’t change the statistic.

[Drango]

Unions killed the golden goose...

What he said.

If you're a conservative in CA, the only purpose you serve is to boost the number of electoral votes the socialists get every presidential election.

Poor California. Do you think their liberal politicians and Unions will ever figure out they are the root cause of their own problems? I doubt it.

UAW Toyota plant in California moving production to non-union plant in Ontario Canada.

Perhaps Toyota can see the writing on the wall.

Your link doesn’t work. I tried to go to the original article and I get “page cannot be found”

[caver]

I don’t have much sympathy for your “Silicon Valley @$$”. Californians are taking the lead in running this country down the tubes. Toyota has been generous for leaving the plant open as long as they have.

Article says "Tough air-quality standards that require reductions in carbon-dioxide emissions..."

California's AB32 is going to drive MANY businesses out of the state. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

What gets me is CO2, a colorless, odorless, inert gas is equated with "air quality." What an idiot, unscientific author. But that's a different rant.

[Huebolt]

The only way unions work is if EVERYONE IS IN A UNION! That's what obama has in mind. It's like the communist party in the old USSR. You didn't have to join, but you were a non-entity if you didn't.

Of course, if everyone is in a union, productivity is so low and expenses so high that no one can afford any of the products they produce. That's why the USSR had such a stone-age economy. "We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us."

[Yossarian]

This place is held up AGAINST the half-wits by those of us who work TWICE as hard.

I can concur. I belong to a small union, because it’s a closed shop. The only thing the union does it to keep people’s jobs that ought to be fired. And I am talking a union of only 1000 people.
