reason #3547 to get out of this area.
zackly… you hit the nail on the head. Shit, a majority of the people bitching are uneducated and doing unskilled labor w/full benefits making more than me with my skilled job… figure that one out.
unions are a thing of the past… they do more harm to us than good :tdown:
with all this going on, I may not have a job soon… we’ll see. I’ve already been sending out my resume to places down south. Better economy and none of that white stuff we’re gonna see in a month or so
Im pretty sure that Delphi will emerge from this. The thing is that workers are prolly gonna take like a 2/3 pay cut to get the factory back up and running. I feel sorry for the poor people working there who are gonna take the biggest hit from this…guess cheap labor elsewhere means no money for americans, sucks.

no, it means an honest pay for an honest day of work. not getting paid 3x what your worth for an “i showed up for work today” day of work.
And this here folks, is exactly why the US is going to have another stock market crash.
When the third worldish type countries begin to pay their workers more and start to not be so “third worldish.”
When corperations start outsourcing to OTHER CONTRIES because people can do just as good or even BETTER of a job than us lazy ass americans for 1/4 of the cost.
Face it, we’re fucked.
Fuck (most) unions
Then third world countries will start to form unions, the workers will make more money until we’re even, and then the unions there will get bloated, kill their companies by demanding that all margin gets spent on unjustifiable payrolls, and the work will come back here. It’s all cyclical vicious cycle.
India and China both got over a billion people each who are willing to work for $0.30/day and they are just starting to come into their own industrial revolutions.
My global economy teacher was telling us that when our kids are in grade school and a teacher asks how many students know a factory worker it will be the same results as if a teacher asked us how many of us know a farmer.
Factory work is leaving this country, end of story. America is moving into the Post Industrial Era which is mostly geared toward services, such as R&D, data transfer, etc.
:word: We better start making more scholarships and grants available. It’s not going to be too long before you ain’t shit in the US without college education. Our future is in the development of new technology. Let the uneducated rest of the world do our grunt work. The US is quickly turning into the front offices while the rest of the world is our production floor…
I’m so glad I’m an engineer. I’m gonna go research the cost-effectiveness of the PSA Argon generator I’ve got designed in my head now…
The thrid world countries have BILLIONS of hungry people.
The supply of workers FAR out weighs the demand.
Before a lot of you were born Japan started selling cheap crap in America.
Japan is small and their supply of workers was not big enough for demend, therefore they had to pay the workers more.
The supply of workers in the current third world is HUGE and will last for decades.
Reality bites.
maybe we should bomb all the 3rd world countries, or poison their water supplies.
or liberate them?
i keed, i keed.
Don’t expect others to pay for education. If they want to that’s great, but it should be expected or even demanded.
X…
We have already started a deadly flu virus.:snky:
lol
Thank God Africa has so many diseases, or else we’d have to worry about manufacturing jobs going there too. I’m going to Angola (just above Namibia which I went to a couple months ago, which is just above South Africa) and I just found out about needing a small pox vaccine, in addition to yellow fever, hepatitis, typhoid, polio, meningitis, and malaria vaccines which I’ve already gotten for the trip. Plus they just had an ebola outbreak in the country a couple months ago, but there’s no vaccine for that one. :tdown: Plague’s always a possibility too… If I live till November, I ain’t doing shit but sitting aroud my new house.
