Greed and Politics
Instead of producing a good product that will be useful and benefit the consumer, corporations are solely concerned about the profit margin. Even to the point where they will prevent a good product from even coming to market. Corporate greed disgusts me. Two examples of this in action are with what is going on with Stevia and Who Killed The Electric Car?
Currently the politicians are worried about keeping the young here in Connecticut. They talk about incentives for business. The real problem is that the young cannot afford the housing. Recent rampant increases in property values make it difficult, if not impossible, to afford decent housing. At job interviews out-of-staters think twice, or maybe even more about moving into Connecticut. It is no wonder that most living in state need to depend on a dual salary income to survive (and I am not talking about minimum wage positions, teachers are having this problem).
It is doubtful that anything will change soon.
