Ah - my mistake.

But my point is there’d be a significant impact to your local economy if that did happen. Or does that not make a difference to you?

I’m here in Rochester, and there’s been alot made in the downsizing of Kodak’s industrial base. About the only thing left here is R&D; and now the biggest employers are service companies. That’s all well and good, except it’s alot harder to export services to counterbalance imports of durable goods.
