Michigan Governor Wants 'Open Source' Economic Model

An anonymous reader writes "Incoming Michigan governor Rick Synder spoke in Kalamazoo, MI today and says he wants to use an 'open-source economic development model' to help repair the battered down state. Perhaps during his time as president of Gateway he saw a benefit to the open source model, but can it really be successfully applied as an economic model?"

yeah it surely did.

of course, that is if you take open source as 'the strongest dominates', and the distribution and sharing of wealth as something that comes of worse than middle ages

in middle ages, 33% of the produce from land went to serfs, 33% to church, 33% to lord. that was the law and was observed everywhere more or less.

currently, top 5% of america gets 72% of everything, whereas bottom 85% gets only 15%. that is BEYOND medieval.

not to mention that alan greenspan, the foremost priest of that church have come up in front of senate committee and confessed that 'free market' did not work, openly, and clearly, saying he was wrong. yet, here you are, selling it to us again.

excuse me, but you are selling bullshit. sell it elsewhere.
