These guys were definitely one of the bands that I’ve seen like a dozen times. They’d come rolling through central Jersey, where we had an AWESOME scene, and put on a great show, at least once a year. Between them, the Bosstones, and Catch-22, I had no money in the late 90s from all the shows!

So, the ATS and Camaro are on the Alpha platform.

You’re high.

Definitely mid-$40s. I priced out some for fun, and was surprised that I could actually afford one.

My old boss did that, and as far as I know, still does. I believe he told me he was getting about 20 MPG, loaded, when he first got the thing, and when he hit ~75k miles, that went up to the mid-twenties!

CRAZY IVAN!

That’s not the point I was making, or have made, but it is relevant. It’s not necessarily that union workers are too stupid to do jobs that are paid way more than they’re worth, it’s that there’s just zero reason to pay unskilled labor that much money. Also, I’d like to note that smart != skills, and vice versa. I’ve

I should be, since I got up at 4:30 to see my wife off to the airport, but I’m keeping it together!

They won’t use Savannah when the Charleston port is roughly as big, and is at least two to three hours closer.

You are so blinded by your northeast liberal doctrine that you can’t understand why a business would make a choice to deal with yokels that have southern drawls, rather than polished and professional northeasterners, like yourself.

Man, it really sucks that people and businesses can make decisions on where to work, when to leave, and when to get rid of underperforming employees. That’s rough.

I didn’t realize that...I know that there’s been quite a bit of new work to come into the low country.

I’m just so used to it, especially on a Gawker website! I’m from NJ, moved here two years ago, and the number of people that thought I was crazy for moving to the backwards ass south were innumerable.

Exactly, and the point is to have manufacturing jobs that are creating higher technology items, as well as doing the final assembly, rather than just producing raw materials, essential as they may be. Boeing recently rejected efforts to unionize their plant, so we’ll see how this plays out with Volvo. I’m doubtful

Yeah, but what you have to realize is that if we’re watching them, someone is watching us. If a USN sub was to launch a salvo of torpedoes at a NK sub, you can bet that the Chinese or Russians, the former of whom are closely allied with NK, would noticed and cry foul.

In before ‘people from the south are stoopid’ jokes.

For hunting and killing, sure. But, should that NK captain release his missile(s), you’re going to want to knock them down, and no sub is equipped for that job. The USN has a good number of CGs, and more DDGs equipped for the task, and the Japanese Navy has six BMD-capable DDGs, as well. They regularly shadow the
