It's always the labor!

Was talking to a guy who was in a similar setup with Intel (they paid to keep him in a hotel a week at a time, yadda, yadda) and at the end of the year the expense acount totaled something like $60,000. Now, how much bottled water would that buy? Hell it'd keep two flight attendants, or one pilot, or (insert employee here) employeed for one more year.

One day, after all the major corporations have been raped by their CEOs (and upper management), this country will wake the f*&(* up and realize we need some major reform to our business regulation/formation/theory. But you can scream till you're blue in the face and no one will do anything until the crisis hits their pocketbook.

Oh well ...
