New Volvo Plant Here
Good for us. We recently landed a new Daimler plant, Boeing here, BMW here - we will be coming to steal your factories soon! ;)

By the way, Volvo's Chinese now so I think this is the first instance of a major Chinese manufacturer opening a plant here. I guess "Right To Work" South Carolina has even cheaper labor than China these days. |

That's $75,000 per job. And that doesn't include "grants for site improvements and tax credits for jobs created." And these are are going to pay uh well "we'll have to get back to you on that":rolleyes: |
You are so predictable - reminds me of a line from the movie Changing Lanes:
"You know, booze isn't really your drug of choice anyway. You're addicted to chaos. For some of us, it's coke. For some of us, it's bourbon. But you? You got hooked on disaster." |

Since you didn't reference a particular reply, I don't know which of us you're addressing. That being said, I have no idea how the above applies to either of us or to either of our replies. |

Or do ya'll down there just buy a pig in a poke and consider yourself lucky? Shit Dude, I get junk mail just about every day offering me great deals that I can't afford to pass up. But silly me, I just chuck em. |

It is a good point - I am also interested to see the net gains for the people/State from Boeing, BMW, Daimler. If they are bad, I won't fudge them - if they are good, I will try not to crow. |

There was a time when auto-workers did really well.
But those days are gone for the most part. At least here in the US. The new hires today make about the same money as new hires did back in the 70's. And that's not adjusted for inflation. :( Of course in places like South Carolina, where working the register at the Piggly Wiggly for $8.25 an hour is considered a good job, well then it looks pretty good. |
Still looking for an independent cost/benefit analysis - this a pretty honest 2 year old "state of the economic State" white paper from Wells Fargo (hate Wells Fargo), but not the company focused analysis I'm looking for.
