Naw, I meant, great overall description regarding the import situation. It is mighty unfortunate that U.S.A. has gone that way. We have taken the easy route to "cheaper" prices. When truth is, in the long term it's going to be mighty mighty expensive.Pisses me off, why the f*ck AREN'T our corporations using their collective heads more? How the hell could it be cheaper to make a can opener in China or Vietnam than it would be to make that can opener in Newark or Detroit or Oakland? What, f*ckin' transportation costs are THAT large a percentage of total product costs?? The labor costs are THAT much cheaper than what our own labor force costs are?? I don't believe it. It's simply...a greedy sniveling "accountant types" mentality. Basically, it's the owners and the corporations proclaiming "I'm gonna still have my monies...the employees will just have to "accept" this "new" "reality" of modern manufacturing" as we "outsource" our production and leave the "thinking" work home, doing so in order to remain "competitive" with the world." This is a receipe for national economic and social collapse. Most of "The fat cats" really don't give a shit. |
