I disagree in this instance. This is about a large corporation acting in an anti-social manner.
In almost a reflexive manner, we've come to blame ourselves or local government for this type of action but that blame is misplaced. Corporations have obligations to society the same as individuals do.
idk, I don't really see any reason that it is better to give vermonters jobs at 10% above the median wage for the area than chinese people or wherever these jobs are going. I do think corporations have certain obligations, like not polluting, following the law, etc... but keeping jobs.. that is a hard one for me to swallow. I think redundancy in manufacturing is inevitable and good (in the long run) as everything goes toward automation; I certainly would not want corporations to be forced to hire people to do what robots can do.
Maybe I am taking a leap here. It is undeniable VT is anti-business (high taxes, nearly impossible to build, no billboards, high minimum wage) but maybe this exact same plant would be leaving Florida or Texas as well.
