Have you?Have you flown on PanAm lately?

I'd review the numbers:GM paid more back than they got. So far foxconn has ONLY CONNED Wisconsin.
Immaculate reception???Well, I must admit. I was stupid enough to think we would have that 3 billion to give to teachers blah blah blah.
Doh !!!!!
That was just the break they were going to get over 10 years.
I better shine up that Economics degree I have from Boston College lol
Excellent point!NC #39
New York State tax rates are set by legislative process, in Albany.
What Governor Cuomo and Mayor Deblasio did was to circumvent the will of the people.
Not some incidental, de minimus infraction. $Literally $Billions of $dollars were at issue.
And why? For 25,000 jobs?
For 25,000 costing $3 $Billion, that's a $cost to the $tax $payer of $120K per job.
That's quite likely over a year's salary on median, for the jobs on offer.
But I understand.
You don't mind $gifting $Billions to $Billionaires.
Perhaps someday if you ever study $fiscal $conservatism, and the fundamentals of ethical principle, you'll learn why this was a bad deal for New York.
Lets ask the questions:What Governor Cuomo and Mayor Deblasio did was to circumvent the will of the people.
I bet you did...Every day of high school.PS

Ever hear of "principle"?
It is a start. New York needs to reform it's spending and tax policy.The idea that this will reverse the loss of taxpayers over time is silly.
The punishment..aka the NY tax code was probably not worth the risk. Amazon is built to succeed.The NY state legislature was looking into tha tax incentives. It ended because Amazon called it off.
Excellent point on what democrats do to businesses.Nobody was buying cars...nobody was buying GM stock.
I had stock in a company that I had a stop loss on....the stock price dropped from $20 to $4 and there were no buyers...eventually trading was halted and another company bought them for $2 per share. Why didn't someone come forward to buy Lehman?
Lots of examples exist of companies that simply cease to do business, their assets are sold and their employees are unemployed. Where is Packard? Largest abandoned factory in the USA.
Democrats destroyed Detroit.It doesn't. Why can't you buy a Packard? How about Rambler?
But it isn't. In fact it is working diligently to make them worse. The idea that it is a "conservative" or "free market" view that the use of this kind of business subsidy to help socialist locations win businesses away from actual conservative, free market locales is puzzling to me.It is a start. New York needs to reform it's spending and tax policy.
What makes you think he should have been able to do so? In fact, he drove the company into the ditch (unlike Mulally at Ford) by loading up on debt as the economy slowed. He deserved to lose his job. Of course, he did so with the full assistance of the UAW, so likewise, they should have lost their jobs. The idea that nobody should lose their job in a downturn is absurd!If he could have continued as CEO, taking GM through chapter 11 and back to profitability...why would Wagoner choose to resign? How in hell would that have been better for him to go down as a failure?
New York City is NYC ?!?!
- oh -
Do you plan to apply for a patent on that? Or do you think public domain is the way to go?
Unmistakably.
But apology will not unring the bell.
I've previously explained that I've done PRECISELY that.

I've never paid $3 $Billion over sticker for a car in my life. And if you have you're even more of a buffoon than I thought.
a) It was going to cost $3 $Billion.
b) In addition to that it was going to substantially burden the local infrastructure.
Woot Woot ! No Jobs ! yeah ! Now they can have taxpayers make up for the 27 billion dollar hole in the budget!NY is now getting no taxes and no jobs from Amazon................Libnut WINNING!

Democrats destroyed Detroit.
Why aren't there 1.8 million people in Detroit like in the 1950 census?
Unreal...you're like a pinball game. Bouncing from bumper to bumper.What makes you think he should have been able to do so? In fact, he drove the company into the ditch (unlike Mulally at Ford) by loading up on debt as the economy slowed. He deserved to lose his job.
