[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 1068507, member: 23516"] I'm not sure where you get the idea that they get free/near-free land as a general rule (I have a good idea, though). As for the infrastructure, yes, it is paid for by taxpayers in those instances. And it all the other instances. That's typically who pays for the infrastructure that accompanies growth, which most people with functioning brains see as a good thing. So what you're telling me is that it makes A LOT of sense to keep that employer in the area and that it pays to keep that employer in the area. But if you ever tire of throwing them a nickel here or there to keep them as a major economic force in your area, feel free to send them down this way. You can keep the 150,000 unemployed folks. Of course they do (snicker)! Oddly enough, there are virtually no union construction folks in this area and our structures are just fine. Granted, I don't conveniently have a friend who is a project manager for a major construction company, but, well, I lost faith in imaginary friends when I was 8. Again, RTW does not make organizing any more difficult. It means that a person can't be fired from his job because he doesn't want to join the union. Of course, your idea of freedom is more along the lines of micromanagement of just about every other company to the extent that they are nothing but benefits dispensers. But hey, if I had your brain, I'd probably see that as my only hope, too. [/QUOTE]
