Really? I bought a 23 year old german car rather than a new
American
car. Why? Quality. The 23 year old car rides, drives better
despite
lacking 23 years of technical progress.

The 23 year old car was more expensive than most modern American
boxes
but it won't depreciate like the American pieces of crap.

I'd much rather purchase a superior American product, even at a
higher
price. They aren't offered anymore because cheap **** imported
by
Walmart, Target and others have flooded the shelves.

You just said two different things.

He just loves his German screw drivers. I wonder if there are any
quality
American toolmakers left?- Hide quoted text -

It is difficult to find a lot of items of any quality anymore, even
if
you spend the dollars. From clothes, to services, to restraunts...
Nobody cares enough about quality to build it, and our (Americans)
interest in it went out the window decades ago...

Whoops... wholesale inventories rise - seven months in a row. It must
be
Obama's fault!

Retail ain't buying.

You didn't even read the article. Inventories are up. Buying is
sluggish,
but the seven month rise in inventories is a very good sign, as much as
you'd like to think otherwise.


Huh?
I was curious about your first comment on this but rising inventories
is not a good thing. That is "built and unsold".

They have more product on the shelf gathering dust than they can sell.
It means they are ready to shut down the line.

Well, you'd be wrong. Manufacturers don't make more of something without
the
likelihood the somethings are going to sell. If you had read the article,
you would have read that they're right where they should be. Rising
inventories are a good thing.


Not if they are not moving. Perhaps you should have taken some
business courses, or run a lemonade stand. Rising inventory means
supply exceeds demand.

So, you're claiming that manufacturers are just stupid? Why do you think
they would keep making things if there was no hope of selling what they
make. Do you not understand that there's sometimes a lag in making and
selling?

Feel free to start with insults. I've got an MBA and I've run a lemonade
stand. What have you got?



You have a Mighty Big Ass. Nothing special about that.
