Boeing move due in part to Gov. Inslee trying to ‘show them the door’

Thor 10-12-2020 06:54 PM

Was that first citizen’s quote “we need stability, and if you can’t offer stability we don’t need you here”. I guess Boeing got the message.

“Obviously, there’s lots of business components go into it,” Ericksen told KIRO Radio’s Dori Monson Show about the decision. “When I was working on the task force to try to keep Boeing here, one of the constant themes that we got from the Boeing Corporation was every other state they went to, people would roll out the red carpet. And in Washington State, they felt like the governor was just trying to show them the door.”
That’s a state Republican talking to Dori Monson who’s like a localized version of Rush Limbaugh but more theatrically irate at everything and shows it by ranting like a 12 year old girl who didn’t get tickets to that K-Pop concert.

Seattle should really try to suck less at everything.

Would think Seattle residents would be very excited with this news of a Climate changing dirty company leaving.

Not likely the last piece of Boeing to pack up and leave the freak show that is Puget Sound.

That is some serious spin. CNN would be proud
However we all know it’s the leadership of that state that is causing the mass exodus. The same style leadership that is causing a UHaul shortage in California and New York as well.

Part of the move is probably due to the Seattle business/political culture. South Carolina is probably more business friendly, but it is also a right to work state and Boeing has a long history of labor issues and strikes in Seattle.
