Thanks for the ping to one of my favorite intellectuals, the one with the most common sense.

"... automakers are not heading for Detroit, even though there are lots of experienced automobile workers there. They are avoiding the rust belts and the policies that have made those places rust belts." And the union rank and file have consistently voted the socialist democrats into power so they have gotten precisely what they deserve, obsolescence. And they never seem capable of seeing the results of thier own idiocy, they just drone what their masters in teh DNC speak to them, it's someone else's fault, never the DNC societal engineering suicide.

You stated it well as did Dr. Sowell in saying the unions have helped kill the goose that lays the golden eggs and management have gone along to get along.

Absolutely to the point summation.

Lets hope someone in the Democratic Party realizes this, since they are in charge.

On Usenet, there was someone who claimed to be smarter than Thomas Sowell. I asked him to list his academic achievements.

Not surprisingly, he refused to do so, babbling about "coons" or something instead.
