Your logic can be flawed re: vacation rentals. You must take into account the drunks and the damage they do to your property. You can take security deposits galore, but they bust up your house!! It takes mega bucks to repair. I know I owned 13 homes at the mouths of Little and Big Cottonwood canyons. Never rented to ski bums. Always required one year leases minimum.

I've lived in Utah twice....thanks to UPS. If you drink a cup of coffee or smoke a cigarette, the Mormons leave you alone. Now, when the missionaries come to my door here in CA. I just tell them I've lived in Utah twice, they say thanks and they leave.
Utah was a great place to live....I just don't like snow. Their street grids make more sense than any city I've lived in before...you can't get lost!

Tie, you have no business sense whatever. Surprises me you are actually part of management. But, at UPS, thats possible.
How can Vegas strive, if the economy is hurting ?
Once you get manufacturing up and running again, like places such as Detroit, only then will Vegas benefit.
I agree, Tie couldn't manage a taco bell and yet he is a manager at UPS. He probably has all his money in bonds because he thinks Obama will destroy the country just like the Tea Party maroon rednecks that pretend that there fight is against a high deficit and yet they said nothing during the Reagan or Bush years when the deficit was 64% of gdp. Obama inherited this mess and he just about has it cleaned up, now he can work on getting the debt down by taxing these rich morons.

Las Vegas as is Arizona and Southern Cal's achilles heel is water from the Colorado River basin. When those regions pass the point of no return with the Colorado (may already have) the cost of another solution will be so enormous in just pure public infrastructure costs it will be a huge cost drain and the ponzi scheme party "could (?)" come to a crashing end. Go google "Las Vegas water woes" and look at what lurks underneath all the glitz and glamour!

The recession is over, some economists say it ended in July/August 2009. Vegas gaming has bottomed. Companies are producing better results. Companies are boosting their dividends. Companies have more money and will go to conventions. Retail sales are better than expected. It is getting better everywhere except jobs yet. Jobs are the last thing to recover. You are unemployed, yet you still travel.

Obama's wrath hasn't hit yet, but it will. Higher costs will be coming...No more free money.

First of all, I live in a different country. Where our dollar has gained 30% over US bucks, mexican pesos, and the Euro.
Secondly, I have a free travel savings account (called airmiles). All, I need to pay are airport and flight/hotel taxes to travel.
3rd: I put away over $1000 per month for those rainy days. Using some of it up now, so who cares ?
I was prepared for the worse.
4th : What will actually happen once the stimulus money gets cut ? Can the US keep spending ? Are there anymore funds left for a 2nd round of stimulus ?
It's scary out there, period !
I expect a high inflation rate in the future, as the US dollar keeps falling. Are you ready for that ?
Your UPS wages will almost stay the same... but everything else will cost you 30% more.
Nevermind tax increases, and sharing medical costs.
I made my mind up, come June, when Canada raises it's interesst rates... I'm out of the stockmarket. Not gonna lose my life savings .

Oh yeah, and the stimilus money they had to have immediately, if not sooner.......there's still 2/3 of it left. Pay down the deficit with it !! No, some fly or spider might need a study done on it. Let's fork over 4 million for that. Some shrimp needs a water study....another 8 million for that.

I do give him credit for saving the auto industry, and so should you. That's over 200.000 - 300.000 jobs with suppliers.

Wouldn't have the existing auto companies taken their market share. Increase their capacity determined by demand and absorb many of those jobs?

Yup, just like DHL jobs were absorbed by UPS and Fedex
how can you compare a service company to a durable goods company. Units would have been sold off and workers hired to produce those models. And suppliers would supply the models that survive. So then profit = jobs and losses = obama bailout.

Keep dreaming if you think the same amount of cars would have been manufactured in the US, after they closed doors.
