When I told my friends in New Jersey nearly ten years ago that I was packing my bags and heading south, they thought I’d lost my mind. ...(snip)......When I told them I had no desire to inherit the pension liabilities that New Jersey’s public unions and politicians were irresponsibly saddling on their own citizens, things got downright gloomy......(snip)
Last month, in a move that shocked residents of northern New Jersey, Daimler’s Mercedes-Benz USA announced it was moving its headquarters from Montvale (just miles from where I grew up) to Sandy Springs, Ga. And it’s bringing nearly 1,000 people along with it, at an average salary of nearly $80,000 per worker.

I stand by the fact that what I am saying is 100% sound - and that you lack the economics understanding to see it. Every post you make supports that thesis...both that these ARE related topics and that you DO NOT get it.
Apples and oranges are BOTH FRUIT. You probably missed that connection too.....
someone gets it......THANK GOD!
uh duh, yeah.....that German company could have moved from NJ to CHINA!!!!! But they didn’t? WHY?
Because in a relatively conservative part of the country, there is a climate that works....better than moving to China. THIS IS HOW WHAT YOU WANT is actually accomplished, and you are so obsessed that you can’t see it. It’s right in front of your eyes.
This is a good story/thread just drop the China angle.
NOTING = NOTHING
but are they bringing 1000 NJ libs to GA?
Some people, no doubt, will think it hyperbole, but this disease threatens to destroy not only America but Europe, Japan, Western Civilization--in fact all that is good in the world, where all the plagues, wars, and natural disasters failed.
"Liberalism" is a far more deadly disease than the Black Plague. This is not hyperbole.
The horrifying events in the world today are the direct result of the debilitation of the Western World--especially the U.S.A.--by this horrifying disease.
And based on the Cali experience, those departing libs get replaced by a larger number of illegals collecting gov benefits and voting deep blue.
Yeah, a traitorous company like Apple, who wouldn’t exist without their China model, which creates hundreds of thousands of American jobs, and pleases millions and millions of consumers, brings wealth to many parts of this country....yeah, damn....with traitors like that, who needs Patriots?
(no, I don’t expect you to understand).
But again, moving from the virtual communist state of NJ to Georgia is relevant to this, by your own words, because you brought communism into the picture. I hate to break it to you, but in many ways our regulatory and tax environment is MORE COMMUNIST than Chinas.....especially in places like NJ.
Been many stories out about that, and even Rush did a big bit on it in about 2009. Then again, I don’t figure you for a big consumer of economic news.
That is comedy.
Slight problem.....keep the NJers out of America!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only way to do that is by winning the big argument...the WHY argument. When you focus on “who” and “what” - you inherently move the conversation to the left.
When you focus on WHY - as in WHY is Benz moving to Georgia, and WHY did BMW do the same, and WHY did Hyundai do the same, and WHY did Toyota do the same....the answer to WHY is that conservative economics works, and liberalism does not. Period.
Now, will we win the big argument in this nation? I have my doubts, but short of secession, that’s the only way to do it.
lets see....a bumpkin versus Steve Jobs. Hmmm......who will I believe?
To clarify, Apple wouldn’t exist as they exist today. They would be a dramatically smaller company and would have created far less American jobs.
Why else would they do what they did? I know this is far fetched to you, but business survivability is not easy. Most do not survive. Doing what you have to do to survive, so that you can create some jobs and some wealth for you and in your country, is hardly traitorous.
Wish I knew how to do that!!!!
Migration does change the way a state votes and it will do it here in the South where Southern pride seems to be diminishing due to various brainwashing techniques used in the schools, media, entertainment, etc. I’ll never forget how shocked I was a few years ago when I saw some Southerners on TV using the Civil Rights struggle as a template to rationalize their defense and practice of homosexuality.
Ok you are using an example of a German company manufacturing a product in the USA, every bit as complex (more so IMO) as an iPhone, to support Apples’s decision to off shore to China. So I have that right? You are insane dude.
This is how liberalism is being spread throughout the US.
