I told him I was waiting for a sign. Obviously asked "What kind of sign" so I told him. You told him when somebody finally decides to buy something from you, you'll then hire an offshore worker to provide the product. Why do you buy off-shore screwdrivers vs. buying US screwdrivers? You're fixated on screwdrivers. I also drive a German car that's worth thousands of screwdrivers. I have a rental right now that was made by Chervrolet. It's a piece of ****. Poor products don't deserve support, no matter where they're made. It's likely those German screwdrivers, as well as your car, was made by unionized workers. In Europe, that usually means the workers are paid decently, with good benefits. In the U.S., for the most part, assembly line jobs are shipped to third world countries where the workers are exploited. I hope the U.S. auto industry recovers. Unfortunately, many of the new unionized workers at U.S. auto plants have been "tiered," in that they will never make much more than subsistence wages, with greatly reduced benefits. I'm going to have to buy another computer printer shortly. The best I can hope for is that it won't be made in communist china or communist vietnam. Oh, and the new country we created - Iraq - is cracking down on its unionized workers, and these are workers in government-controlled unions. We've got quite accomplishment in Iraq. We ought to rename it the Bush-Cheney Abortion. |
