It seem businesses are playing one state off another to get the tax breaks. EW don't look too hard at the jobs purchased by the state in MS or AL. I can't remember how much each job was in Canton for Nissan, but it was not cheap.
I was working on a business plan with a friend that placed the components to manufacture steel building structures in shipping containers. We were thinking of being able to relocate the plant to where the construction was needed like in Southern MS with Katrina. Never thought of getting all the tax breaks from the state and then packing up the containers and moving on.

EW Michigan is giving tax breaks for the business and driving them out with taxes. In AL and MS they gave them a pile of breaks for maybe 25 years.
Businesses moved from the north to the south about 30 years ago and now are folding up to move on cheaper wages like Puerto Rico, China and Mexico.
MS and AL are now courting the Japanese and Koreans with tax breaks to replace the jobs that are walking away.
We have states competing with each other for portable jobs and loosing funds. Would it be better cooperating with each other to create a climate for new business development.

EW There are large building with metal frames and small building with metal studds. We have a system that has a space frame which is built out of welded subcomponents. Rather than building the factory in one location and shipping all the steel twice, we were considering making the factory mobile in shipping containers.
I was just making an illusion to the future economy with the factories mobile to look for new areas for tax breaks and cheap labor.
As long as these multinationals can appear ethical they will remain creating sweat shops in the third world. If they could cut the supply line and have the slave labor here they would.
I have had the same problem with day laborers here. I had about 6 young men promise me they would be here tomorrow and never show up. I finally found someone that was reliable.
It seems young people are only interested in good pay and no work. Computer fantacy is there reality.
