Never said all government regulation was good.
BTW - Are you still in business, I hear that companies out outsourcing much of their IT budgets to India, and engineering budgets (e.g., Boeing) to Russia.
If that's true, many of our high-tech friends on the Free Republuic will soon be on the bread lines.
Yup, I'm still in business and still expanding. Boeing is building their rocket engines here in Alabama, not Russia. Honda has just started making the Odessy minivan here, and Mercedes is greatly expanding their Alabama manufacturing plant. Southern Company is ramping up here in order to pick up the slack from ENRON's exit, and BellSouth is doing rather well. Placements at IBM have stopped, but requests from CSC are up once again (healthcare is booming around these parts). I've been getting a fair amount of bank business, too. AmSouth, SouthTrust, and Colonial Bank are benefiting from the current interest-rate environment.
Life is good.
