argue to keep Carolcon metals in Minnesota!

Carolcon Metals in Minnesota is in trouble. For the past 5 years,they have been losing ground to the competition in an especiallyfierce industry. All competitors have moved mining and productionfacilities to countries with lower wages and fewer environmentaland safety restrictions. Carolcon has been a stable employer forthree generations in the town, and its 700 employees are one-tenththe population of 7,000 people.

However, it is faced with a sobering choice: move the mining andproduction facilities overseas or face greater loss of marketshare. The company probably will not go out of business becausethey manufacture a unique and patented product, but they willcontinue to lose profits.

The Biron Islands are a small chain of islands in the Caribbean.They have been an independent nation for 130 years. They are hopingCarolcon will consider opening a mining and production facility onGreentag, the largest and poorest island. Greentag has abundantsupplies of the natural resources Carolcon Metals seeks. Also, ithas an eager work force. Currently, there is 50% unemployment onGreentag, so the people there are desperate for an employer toprovide wages to stem the tide of starvation and lack of medicalcare.
