State Economic Development Money

Every state has economic development dollars to spread around.  They are used to park people until the next political campaign.  The taxpayers of Rhode Island are on the hook for $112 million for a video game company that went bust.    Java coders who study to be roofers and roofers who study to be java coders must have something to do when they are unemployed after graduating from school.  A video game was a good idea in the minds of state planners.

But then, once on pledges allegiance to evil, it is a matter of aesthetics as to how you will suffer.  Picking up the tab for a video game company is particularly excruciating, I think.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
