Default beacon

Actually let's let the bulb burn out. That should allow for enough time for all naysayers of Michigan flee. Then after they're all gone, the people who see the future opportunities in MI are going to come in and replace the burned out bulb with one of those new long lasting Incandescent light bulb. And make Michigan a bright beacon of possibilities again.

I have said this in other treads and will say it one more time. I'll tell you what. Come on over and live for awhile in then Northeast where I'm currently stuck or head on over to the westcoast for awhile. See how easy it is to make in by both as a business or a citizen of one of those states. Think you see Michigan ain't all that bad.

Yea, what future is there here? Even banks and pharmaceutical companies are leaving town. I grew up in the 80's here with my dad struggling to keep his job. My career started in the 90's and was laid off 3 times due to work slowdown.

So what are you, retired? Thats the only ones staying here, and those that haven't finished usind their 26 weeks.

I'm a Gen X'er carpetbagger looking for a long range investment and Mi is going be a really go deal once the deadwood is cleared out of the way. So if you which to leave please do. It will make it easier and much cheaper to buy in early.


Btw I have a troll feeling here. But heck, I got a couple of extra minutes to kill anyways.
