GM...Ford...and now Chrysler. I suppose it was inevitable. Looks like Michissippi takes it on the chin again.
On that note...if you're a Michigander, do you know people who've fled the state in the hopes of better job and career opportunities elsewhere?
Are there any reasons at all, aside from the slim possibility of landing a decent job, for twentysomethings to stay in the state?
Is there any hope for my beloved home state of Michissippi, or is it only going to get worse? From what I can tell, the state's politicians are completely clueless. Why not look at the economic polices of states that are doing well that are devoid of natural resources such as oil and coal and ore and copy them? Would anyone care to suggest a state that has model economic policies (taxes, regulations, or lack thereof) that Michigan could adopt (after scrapping it's own flawed taxes and regulations).
In the meantime, has the price of one-way long-distance U-Hauls skyrocketed? I can't imagine that Michigan's U-Haul shops have been the recipients of too many trucks over the past couple years. I suppose that they have to hire drivers to bring them in from other states. It might just be cheaper for a Michigander to pick one up in Indiana.
Also, should the name of the state be changed to Michissippi? At least that's what I'm going to call it from now on.
