"Economic Development Committee Deleted: Jobs Department Created: Tales From Normal, Mn: FICTION

In modern times, Economic Development departments of cities NEVER create any jobs...they just create infrastructure that looks nice, but never results in any job creation....the reason for this is explained in the book called "NO LOGO" by Naomi Klein. As Americans, we want our companies to outsource all the jobs so we can concentrate only on the "branding."

I got the email today from the city council of Normal, Mn. that announced thus the deletion of the Economic Development committee, which to tell the truth was just the lackey of special interests anyway, and did nothing for the everyday citizen. The committee has been renamed the "Jobs Department" and in the bylaws it is prescribed that if any infrastructure project does not create CONTINUING jobs, it is NOT done.

Make a note of it.
