I guess we're confusing two seperate types of things, government mismanagement and Corporate. I was talking about the Corporate shenanigans. Here in my area, the last decade or so has seen many rotten deals done by corporate types. Companies threaten to move south because it's "too expensive" to produce here. Labor then takes huge wage cuts and the city gives large financial incentives to stay. Then, a year or so later, after all the money has been wrung out of the locals, they move anyway. (Usually in the middle of the night, literally, locking the doors on the way out.) Or, making deals to "build a large shopping complex". Lots of fanfare, three square blocks of low income housing tenants are forced out, buildings are demolished, city upgrades for the future needs of the corp., and then, "nope, changed our mind. Sue us if ya don't like it." I'm sick of seeing my community jerked around and treated like dirt by these corporate types and I read enough about this happening around the country that I am disgusted. Then there are a few who try and stick up for this behavior by quoting "economic models" or "government interference". Guess which former "corporate raider" candidate I didn't vote for in the last election!





AMEN!
