I so hope you are right. It has been my experience though the cream of the crop are the first ones gotten rid of. I’ve seen it time and time again. I saw one of the older greatest welders of his generation screwed over to make room for some young punk who had the prettiest welds you ever saw, but nothing was square with the world.

had the prettiest welds you ever saw, but nothing was square with the world.

Didn't learn to stitch-weld first?

After the defaults and repudiations of debt in an idiocracy that is educated to speak in overly vague, generalizing terms contrary to our great language, people must eventually pay those who are truly capable, straight and sober, or they'll complete the process of starving themselves out of existence. Only for the time being, are they deluded by their monstrous and ill gotten salaries for making nothing but trouble (local regulators and their cronies in services).

And weak welds are easy to make pretty with wire welding. I was pretty good with a stick but didn't do enough vertical uprights to get the hang of those. I did more custom machine work, machine op, fab, cutting and expediting (and race cars and other projects with friends and at home: electronics, electrical, residential building, etc.). Maybe try those vertical uprights again in the near future, or maybe I'll join to masses with more wire welding. ...not much current here (too far from power lines), and work with wire can go faster.

...join the masses, even. That was a hasty write.
