It all depends…

Good morning, Netizens...


Let us approach the issue of Boeing opening its newest plant in South Carolina with delicacy, shall we? That isn't to say that cartoonist David Horsey has done so with today's cartoon, not hardly at all.


A poet once observed that a little competition is good for everyone, and perhaps this could be made to apply to Boeing in Seattle. I believe the Unions in Seattle have become complacent and so set in their ways over the years, which the unions have profited handsomely, that they strike back against anyone wishing to take a little piece of their pie.


On the other hand, in these somewhat desperate times, it doesn't make sense to be exporting jobs from Washington State to South Carolina, does it? Of course, if you live in South Carolina, there probably people out dancing in the streets upon hearing that so many new jobs are arriving soon.


Of course, this all could be David Horsey playing to the choir, couldn't it?


I guess it all depends upon your position.


Dave
