wrong, wrong, wrong.... but it's cheaper in CA - which is as much the large local population and consumption base as anything else. $2 chuck is only $2 in California, it's $3 everywhere else irrespective of shitty laws

kkk's poolboy/lover I thought FW was that. FW's the jizzmopper.

stupid people are now a protected class? lucky you

I get lost in your circular logic and duplicity.

Why is big corporations using their market power and money to buy access now bad Jay? You love WalMart and the like who do exactly the same thing.

Most of us think he looks like Mitch

Could you change my user name to ignorance?

Don't you mean "Union Union"?

Gee jay what is a bribe?

KKK is still suffering from TSB it seems

wow, shit breaks when you abuse it. And when you pay for a small company with decent products, they don't have the huge margins of a heartless multi-national corporation to replace them on a whim. Oh, what a cruel world.

Why don't you come skin/ski with me this winter and find out? Bring it baby! Bring it! Chinese Downhill @ Rogers Pass (I'll let you pick the run) in February (you pick the day).

Who? Our resident starry eyed Rand thumping evangelists? Posting PFFMIEAFMFOP (That's Protected From Free Market Industry Employees Advocating Free Markets For Other People) - no coincidence it sounds like a turd dropping into a toilet.

KKK and TTK won't be hitting on you now

you sound like twilight fags

wow. patagonia. stud. where are you going there?

you wish you were that current

I'm really curious where Jay_B thinks Washington state would be without the welfare that supports the largest employers (U_W, Airport/port, Microsoft, Boeing) against equally, or better, subsidized competitors? If this were some perfect world, sure, the free market would triump. It's not. Only a 10 year old or the ideologically blinded would think that, and really Jay, you're far far better than that. BTW: any excuse that mentions using the state welfare payments of future competitors (Boeing 787) to finance current profits is a retarded strategy... that GM would approve of.

I've yet to see tax-deductible fly-fishing junkets advertised to engineers. Nor have I ever seen engineers conferences hosted at the Awahnee. The entire bio/medical industrial complex is a triumph of soft living and the power of welfare spending; not a surprise they fight cost discipline so fiercely. BECAUSE IT NEVER OCCURS THAT WAY EVER IN REAL LIFE Hell, Toyota is a prime example of state partnership and heavy subsidies. I struggle to think of any major industry that isn't supported by government subsidies; movement across borders is currently more of a whose willing to subsidize more effort. I'm sure you're a fun of the unsustainable race to the bottom, I'm not.

OH look.. here's a $4 million subsidy for Bend Broadband: http://www2.ntia.doc.gov/grantee/bend-cable-communications-llc-bendbroadband pretty much all of the other ones out there received subsidies as well..... and that's just in telcom. We haven't gotten to the "service economy of the future" where the saps like that radiologist who got us saps to pay for his training, and now gets his $$$$ by an enforced monopoly from his union the AMA. Or the bar, a union if there ever were one.

You buy union-built cars? I don't particularly pay attention; but last I checked Honda and Toyota both had parts made by err unions as do BMW, Porsche and Mercedes. I'm sure Jay_B will have some babbling sophistry about how this is all because the market was poorly implemented and that if only government had followed the correct interpretation of Rand & Friedman laid out in Das Kapital or whatever everything would be fine.... he's had the same schtick for ~10 years, it doesn't change even when the facts do.

Hint: Volkswagen, dearly union produced, sales hit an all time North American peak in 1970.

Jay_B is moving to have them pay for breathing now - clean air doesn't pay for itself you know!
