kenneth21441 0 #1 March 12, 2007 I am sorry to say that the Governor of the Great Lakes States bites. Since 2001 the state has lost over 300,000 jobs. I guess with can also blame it on that NAFTA, but still compaines are still leaving the state and moving to other states or Mexico. Maybe we should move to Mexico or/and learn Spanish. Here I am out of work for the past nine months, sending out tons of resumes and not a single deal. Then I try to go on assistance and no. You make too much money from nothing. Then go to the Local Wal-mart and see alot of these illeagals getting the assistance and all. So I am thinking about a moving out of the state where I can find a job. Now that the governor is on her 2nd term I can only expect to see more cuts and of course more jobs to move out. Now shes in Germany hoping to bring in some jobs to the state, when she needs to be thinking about the companies that are here. Yeah, lets raise the taxes. Lets raise the sin taxes; I see no issue here. But when and where will it stop..When its true the automotive industry is hurting, it just shows that these companies give and give to the unions and then all these recalls. Why is that possible? recalls after recalls when our foreign compution (Toyota, Honda) are making a better car, cheaper with very small recall ratios. I guess the writing is on the way for the so called Big Three. Shape up or shipper out to nothing. Our nation as a whole has become a welfare state where we are helping every Abduallah, Shako, etc... with aid but we cant even take care of our veterans past and present. Sorry just venting off some stuff that has been bugging me... No need to reply if you dont want to as these are just my thoughts on the articles as seen through what I have experienced or gone through.

billvon 3,120 #2 March 12, 2007 > Maybe we should move to Mexico or/and learn Spanish. I know you meant that as a rhetorical suggestion, but a lot of people in the tech industry here _are_ learning spanish. It's becoming an important skill, because it means they can send you down to TJ and help them set up a twin plant or whatever. It's one way to turn the problems of outsourcing into an advantage for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenneth21441 0 #3 March 12, 2007 Your correct, in that assumtion. I already speak two other languages. One of course Spanish as it helps you anywhere you go, but you never know. When and where youll need these languages. I am still getting offers to go off and translate Arabic. Well that is a job offer but not when you have a wife/ children. That is not possiable any longer,.Kenneth Potter FAA Senior Parachute Rigger Tactical Delivery Instructor (Jeddah, KSA) FFL Gunsmith Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy9o8 2 #5 March 12, 2007 You wasted all that bandwidth re-copying that entire post just to post a one-liner veiled PA against somebody who hasn't even posted in this thread? Sheesh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
