Trade deal with India means 22,000 jobs for Long Beach!

Just on the local ABC affiliate in LA, and that is 22k jobs at Boeing. In the past they have estimated those jobs to have 2.5 to 3x multiplier!

Great news for Southern California and the United States.

1. I don't think 22,000 people worked at LGB in 1960...

Entire C-17 supply chain? Maybe...

2. Really?

Douglass had to have 50 to 70k jobs at the peak. When I came out in 85 I think Hughes had 65 to 70k, Rockwell about 50, TRW just under that.

3. They also had a dozen different facilities,

I think El Segundo was larger (employee wise) than Daugherty Field, I just don't see how building ten more C-17's makes 22,000 jobs in Long Beach alone.

6. Asking a question is speculating in the negative?

8. KABC News

Look for 11 pm news. First story was about the India visit, second story about the 22k jobs.

Now we can aggressively pick the mother fucking thing apart or we could promote the news which leads to progressive wins.

Your choice. As for your obnoxious "We're Waiting Post" maybe you are part of the problem.
