Here in California, I've met many many people who escaped (their words) hometowns like that. Their #1 goal in life since they were young were to get the hell out, and their biggest accomplishment in life is that they succeeded.

I believe it. The movie “Footloose” is more of a documentary than a work of fiction.

Yet CA still has the highest poverty rate in the nation when accounting for cost of living .
Why do liberals always feel they have to put down states that aren’t on the coasts?
Toyota is gonna do exactly what Nissan does in Mississippi: the engineers and plant managers will be permanent. Everyone else will be temps on a contract. When they get close to having their year in, they get let go.
Toyota isn’t gonna hire a bunch of new people on a full time permanent basis and give them a nice phat wage. Not in Mississippi. Not in Texas either as a matter of fact.
That isn't how it has been so far in the plant which has been open since 2011. Why do you believe that they will change how they hire now with this expansion?
GM's problems pre-date Obama. They have struggled for some time because of their pension issues
But good try.
That’s not what ST is saying.
Oklahoma passed a right to work law in an effort to kiss corporate asses, and GM still bailed.

Toyota isn’t gonna hire a bunch of new workers in Mississippi on a permanent basis. Why? Because in Mississippi, they don’t have to and their competitors don’t do it either. Toyota isn’t running a charity.
There’s a reason why these plants opened up down south. They can get away with a lot more.

They already hire full time permanent employees now, why do you think they will change that? This isn't a new plant it's an expansion of an already existing plant.

I don’t buy it.
