Our 2003 Yamaha 225 four cycle calls for a 10-hour break in. The

that tank, running at the specified throttle settings and being checked

Hey, Hairball, did you stab your union brother in the back
when you bought that rice grinder?

You're taking union jobs from Canada and the USA.

You're really a simple-minded twit. Yamaha is an organized employer,
here and in Japan. In Grand Rapids, Michigan, in fact, members of UAW
Local 19 manufacture flutes, trombones and trumpets. In Japan, members
of the union there forced out a CEO who wasn't performing up to snuff.

There is a democratic union movement worldwide, and it includes unions
and their members who do not work for slave wages and who are not
exploited by the companies for which they work. Given, the Japanese
unions are not the same as ours, and many are what we would call
"company unions," but the fact remains, unionized Japanese industrial
workers have wages and working conditions similar to our unionize workers.

In the more advanced nations of northern Europe, of course, unionized
workers do better than our workers do here, in terms of a combination of
compensation, health care benefits, re-education benefits, vacations and
pensions.

The United States since Ronald Reagan has devolved into a society that
throws away its members. We're no longer at the top of the food chain.

And idiots like you haven't a clue.

So go play with your daddy's penis, er, rocket powered jet boat, eh?



Get with the times Harry. The US economy is now about brains not brawn.
The unions are nothing more than industrial age brawn and are now therefore
irrelevant. The downturn in union membership (well below 15% of the US
workforce) and the unions attempt to highjack non skilled workers (can you
say grocery store employees?) is a resounding validation of that fact.

Live in the past if you want to Krause. The majority of US workers have
decided not to.
