It doesn't matter why people didn't attend a job fair. To me, it clearly means the people saw no value in it and perhaps the organizers didn't advertise very well. I was only pointing out that what you saw as a missed opportunity will not effect the unemployment rates.
And I didn't mean to knock Chobani. They look like a decent company. I am just concerned with the development of the plant itself. What kind of community are they developing. Where will it be? What are the zoning laws? What greater implications will it have on the politics of the region? How will people get there? What are the environmental impacts? Do they need to continue to grow to survive? What will be the impact on local dairies in the area? What are they taking from the community they have chosen to be a part of and what are they giving back? What are the unintended consequences of a seemingly good thing?
My mind can change, but it won't when reasons are given in anger. And certainly not when the information is obviously biased. Your local paper isn't a good enough news source for me. You seem to be looking for reasons to blame the victim instead of understanding the victim. They are not a single entity. It is your neighbor. You are part of the community, you are a part of the system. However you choose to use it, or avoid it. I'm sorry if you feel like you are playing by the rules while others can get away with cheating. It isn't my job to change your mind. I cannot tell you if you are right or wrong. But if you want information, seek it out and don't believe everything you hear. It isn't just about jobs. It isn't just about lack of health care. It isn't just about educational opportunities. It isn't just about the housing market. It isn't just about politics. It isn't just about the media. It isn't just about funding a never ending war. It isn't just about the environment. It isn't just about big businesses buying our politicians. It isn't just about greed. This is about people waking up and realizing that we can no longer pretend that there isn't a problem. Our government is by, for, and of the people, right. It is time to reclaim what is rightfully ours.
Do you support the Occupy Wall Street movement?
