Unfortunately I don’t find humor in your cynical attitude. You sadden me. You must be so very unhappy. Maybe you have found yourself in a room full of horse poop. Rather than be so upset about it, why don’t you start looking for that pony that must be in there somewhere. You seem to typify the problems we face as a community. Rather than sit on the sidelines complaining about what is, roll up your sleeves and get into the game.

OOOOHHHHH! 100 large. Wow. Gee. Boy oh boy.

Some research on this area could have served you well. The far right talking points aren’t all they’re cracked up to be.

The department of Commerce and Labor struggle to paint pretty lips on the oinker that are average jobs around here.

I could go on, but I gotta go cut a check for ten small at the local pizza joint.

There will be more and more of this until the whole world is like the third world countries of today. It started in the 1960s and continues to this date.

Hang on to your loved ones as the quarterly reports get crazier.

To answer your question Feris B, it was last Thursday. We were made aware of an investor in our complex in Indiana who was treating his sales staff poorly. When we discussed it with him he said that was his business, not ours. I agreed with him and then had a check cut for 100 large because we weren’t comfortable with his management “style”.
We are coming to BoiSe strictly for three simple reasons.

One, it is the best place I have found in this country to raise a family.
Two, it is where I have lived for 35 years.
Third, Boise is blessed with a young-to-middle age labor force that wants to stay here.

Notice I said unrealistic unions…..in many instances Unions have played a critical role in improving job safety and removing the concept of psuedo-indentured servitiude when all of your paycheck was spent at the company store to barely sustain your family….anybody saying WalMart?

But just as many companies are to blame for selling out employees and communities for short-term unsustainable profits, many Unions sell out the union members and community to seek unrealistic pay, schedules and benefits for work the employee’s education and skill set do not naturally create, hence the artificial way of self-promotion….unionize.

The fact is, employers in this state have lobbied sucessfully to eliminate workplace protections of all kinds for employees. I daresay the vast majority of employers in this valley would do anything they could to undercut their own employees.

Sure there are notable exceptions, but for the most part employees are just a necessary evil. Many employers do whatever they can to avoid paying a decent wage, providing health care or pensions.

Somewhere along the line, working people in this state lost sight of the fact that employees lease their expertise or muscle to the employer so that employer can sucessfully run their business. Too many employers have convinced working people they are “lucky to have a job” in order to keep them in their place.

HA-HA! With such low unemployment, thanks in large part to super crappy service sector jobs, people will get tired of working two or even three of those crappy jobs and start leaving for greener pastures and higher pay.

The incentives to bring business to this state is based on taxes and cheap labor. Wow, that sure is something to hang your hat on.

Well, the tax base just got smaller so look forward to increased taxes for the folks still employed. Oh, and the taxes will never go down for us…as we are not the top three per cent.
