John Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock for 6 am
(MADE IN JAPAN )

While hiscoffeepot

(MADE IN CHINA)


was perking, he shaved with his

electric razor


(MADE IN HONG KONG)


He put on a

dress shirt

(MADE IN SRI LANKA),


designer jeans

(MADE IN SINGAPORE)


and

tennis shoes

(MADE IN KOREA)


After cooking his breakfast in his new

electric skillet


(MADE IN INDIA)


he sat down with his

calculator


(MADE IN MEXICO)

to see how much he could spend today. After setting his

watch


(MADE IN TAIWAN )


to the radio

(MADE IN INDIA )

he got in his car

(MADE IN GERMANY )

filled it with GAS


(from Saudi Arabia )

and continued his search

for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.

At the end of yet another discouraging


and fruitless day

checking his

Computer

( made in MALAYSIA ),


John decided to relax for a while.


He put on his sandals

(MADE IN BRAZIL ),


poured himself a glass of

wine

(MADE IN FRANCE )

and turned on his

TV

(MADE IN INDONESIA ),


and then wondered why he can't

find a good paying job


in AMERICA

Poverty is a bi tch. Its crazy that most of the people putting together all of the stuff we buy, prolly never made it through Junior High or any education at all. We ***** about making 8-9 bux an hour to mainly sit on our ass working behind a desk. Lets face it most Americans are lazy. Its sad.

It is our own fault. We as a nation have let ourselves be walked down a path of laziness and thinking we can just get it from somewhere else. Why make it we'd rather just buy it with somebody else's money.


I've been watching that history channel series 'the men who made America'.
It is always amazing to see the growth and gifts we as a people have given this world.
Last night it was electricity and Edison/Jp Morgan Vs Tesla/Westinghouse with Rockefeller meddling.
We have led the world in so many fields in just our short time and now seem destined to rest solely on those laurels.

No you'll register them first.

The thing is we gave it away or rather our politicians did. Manufacturing is basically gone in the US. We are a service economy, in other words, store clerks and waitpersons. We are no longer hegemonic

Manufacturing line level jobs are gone. Company's have lean Six Sigma programs and "Strategic Sourcing" programs designed to squeeze every dollar out of every process. Technology is expensive everywhere and labor is expensive....in the U.S. Manufacturing technology is still here and fairly strong even in this economy. Application engineers or even non degree'd experienced people in manufacturing companies can find employment where there is industry. If you know German and have any experience with process / application engineering, you could be hired yesterday or the day before by VW or any of their Tier 1 suppliers here in Chattanooga.

I ride the German's more than the Jap...

In America we want it fast and we want it cheap....... Why pay workers minimum wage and pay a ton of taxes to operate here in America when they can outsource and import from other countries to take advantage of the sweat shops. We bring this on ourselves.

Exactly what I was thinking

I try to do my part - daily driver is an 18 year old Mustang...she was born and raised here, but who knows how many of her parts came from beyond the border
