Talked to a friend living near Milwaukee and the Harley situation came
up. He stated that in the 1990's the entry wage at Harley, even floor
sweeper-types, was $22.50 an hour. HOG must move or go under.

Why must they move or go under?  It's not like they're competing on
price with anybody.  And where would they move to that would result in
their dealing with a different labor union?  China perhaps?

    Unions.


    Anywhere that's not unionized, including in America.  That's
why Nissan is in Alabama and Tennessee, for instance.

| Unions.

Yup!  If it weren't for unions Americans would be working for the same
wages, and living like Mexican or Chinese peasants and we wouldn't be having
these problems ....

Notice why history teachings always stop at the civil war.
