What's happening in this state has nothing to do with me. Most of that is on the other side of the state and has little bearing on what goes on over here on the west side other than having to hear the news stories. Most of the industry on the west side has little to nothing to do with the automotive industry. It's not to say there is absolutely nothing here, but those jobs around here (auto parts) were never high paying in the first place.
The only relation this thread has for me, much like Robbie, is that we have worked hard and sacrificed to get where we are in life and enjoying some level of comfort from that focus and dedication. If you have actually done this yourself, and gotten to the point of some security, you become infuriated that others are constantly making excuses why THEY can't do it, or feel that they should get hand outs/entitlements "just because", or $15.00 an hour for minimum work and effort on the back of others who are more successful.
