Comments on: Idaho’s precious – and scarce – commodity: hay http://idahobusinessreview.com/2011/10/04/idaho%e2%80%99s-precious-%e2%80%93-and-scarce-%e2%80%93-commodity-hay/ IBR Fri, 24 May 2013 10:03:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bill http://idahobusinessreview.com/2011/10/04/idaho%e2%80%99s-precious-%e2%80%93-and-scarce-%e2%80%93-commodity-hay/comment-page-1/#comment-87230 Bill Wed, 05 Oct 2011 14:44:08 +0000 http://idahobusinessreview.com/?p=51856#comment-87230 I'm for simply deeding the entire Idaho "Manure Valley" (aka 'Magic Valley') to China. The state's rural bozo-bigshots would then have an inexhaustible supply of what they perpetually crave: cheap, feudal labor that'll work for nothing and can be pushed around on a whim. Think of it: Idaho can fund some Chinese schools for the kids, the way Libs do for European kids in places like San Francisco, Bethesda, Md. Los Angeles, New York, Boston, etc. Is that a bragging point or what? Think I'm kidding? If the state did just one in Twin Falls or such, China would be here with bells on, pronto. Who knows, maybe in a few decades the cows there would not outnumber the humans? The Chinese can bring over whole generations of their families and they can all get religiously converted; imagine the prospect for new missionaries back to old country, new business ventures, food companies, variations on what they could with the potato or sugar beet. And those [Idaho-Chinese] knock-off industries, "proudly made in Idaho" would have a whole new meaning in America. Hey, I've already registered the trademark: "Ida-Chin".
