You can't have any manufacturing in MS because no one here will work.

That's just wrong. Right now, we have a group of people looking into opportunities to relocate things from China back to the US. I think MS could get some of that work.

- Labor prices in China are going up pretty fast.
- The west coast dock workers strike has really hurt a lot of businesses. The local truckers will strike next... and soon.

If you divide manufacturing into high-tech, mid-tech, and low-tech, MS probably wouldn't fare well in high-tech or low-tech, but there should be a lot of opportunity in the mid-tech area where the products are relatively expensive to ship from overseas.

We'll focus on some small plants first to do a proof-of-concept and see what happens.
