Race To the Bottom
Keeping Up to Date in Negotiations
The Governor had offered everything but his daughter,
and the union couldn't think of anything more to give
back, but Jerome opined that sometimes one had to be
cruel to be kind.
He thus moved operations to a terrifically automated
factory in Mexico. "Hey the few workers get coolie wages!
What's not to like?"
He laughed off the local paper's editorial re a devastated
community. "So? Get un-devastated."
Was he moving down there? golf partner asked.
"I'll keep an apartment, but you know me, real
homeboy. House and Club and Church about does it."
