The country is stratifying into those that produce and those that don't but want the production of others. The union members without the leadership of the corporations would have nothing. The Corporation leadership can always find people willing to work for money, and good money at that but when you have to compete on the world stage, or market you can't go around paying for high labor and expect to survive as a company. Boeing has no choice, they have to cut cost or go out of business. If the Labor union was smart they would understand that and help them in any way they could.

If the union wants a pension then they should offer to cut their wages or at least their wage increases to get it. They want the cake and eat it too.

Boeing will go Galt, but I suspect it will not be in the west in some hidden mountain valley, I suspect it will be in the South where there are still a few people who understand how an economy works.

I hope Seattle turns into Detroit. I once lived across the Sound from Seattle, nearly 50 years ago and thought it was a fine place. It has turned into a city of wacko’s. I feel sorry for the sane people that can not get away from it. If I lived there I would say it is time to get out while you can still sell your property, I would hate to see good people be in the same fix as the people in Detroit.

The scary thing is that our Federal Government could step in and offer incentives to Boeing to give in to the demands of the union. Then Obama would not just be screwing the good people of North Carolina by denying them Boeing but would also be making them pay for keeping the jobs away from them.

I hate Socialists.
