In related news here, Carrier (furnaces and A/C) is closing it's
factory in Indianapolis soon
and opening one is Mexico where the workers will be paid "$3/hr +
about $3/hr in benefits", according to the CEO. I don't know what the
workers were paid here, but the loss to the local economy (and
society) will certainly be felt.


One of the news reporters asked him, while he was running away, if he
was going to be making $3/hr too! As a result he wasn't able to answer
the question.
