Let's see, Harry Reid helped save 22,000 Nevada jobs. Sharrontology Obtuse Angle believes her job does NOT involve caring about any of our jobs. And GOoPers wonder why I and most everyone else I know consider Sharrontology a wackadoodle extreme right crackpot?
If it weren't for Reid making those calls to save CityCenter, most of us probably wouldn't even be here at this blog. (We'd all be fleeing a state in collapse...)

Oh, please! CC has done comparatively little to help the local economy. In fact, it's added a truckload of room economy that nobody needed. If anything, it provided the industry with an unwanted shock to the system, shaking out in a loss of jobs at places like Binions and Sahara and Wynncore.
I know that Angle is a loon, but let's not dive over the edge in the other direction in our rush to kiss Murren's tootsies!
Ummm, 22,000 jobs is nothing to scoff at... Not to mention the tens of thousands of other MGM Resorts jobs that would have been jeopardized if the company had gone bankrupt as Sharrontology wanted!
Those 10,000 construction workers and 12,000 new MGM employees would have been screwed if CityCenter were allowed to fail. Regardless of what one thinks of MGM Resorts as a company, CityCenter has helped in preventing "The Great Recession" from becoming Nevada's "Greater Depression". The other casinos were already laying off due to the bad economy, but even this has changed as both Harrah's and Wynn have started rehiring due to improving tourism numbers.
The fact of the matter is that Sharrontology's anti-CityCenter, anti-Vegas, anti-Nevada-worker rants are entirely fact-free.
