You're right, Old Wise One. Plus, it isn't the hourly rate that the worker
gets, but the other costs ( union crapola, OSHA payoffs, insurance, taxes,
licenses etc.) that really add up, so I was told this week.

Oz,

I tried hard to stay out of this but the spirit is to weak.

Scotty, it's not the labor cost. It's the pollution cost. Aussies drew a
bye on the "Kobi Accord" The cost of modification to the new Eniv. code
is shutting down many plants in this country. Still has time down-under.
