I do not disagree that much is still made in America but what concerns me is that we are loosing the ability to and the skill to manufacture what is needed to win a global war. Heavy industry is how we won WWII and we are forgetting that. It also bothers me that we continue to support welfare when there are help wanted signs everywhere. We a are a culture that believes that demanding charity from those who work for a living is more acceptable than working a job that is beneath them. There is a place in our society for the factory worker.
I agree that there is a place for him(her)...that place is changing, though and the factory worker needs to keep stride with the change if they wish to continue being a factory worker.
Yes, welfare bad...unfortunately, the times have changed and so have the scams...now those who don’t want to work fake an injury and get themselves on socialist security for life because they can only take advantage of the welfare hammock for 3 years. The most common faked injuries that I’ve seen are the back and the knee...
Sorry, I own a few rental properties and some of the folks I’ve seen over the years have jaded me, I’m afraid...
Well, I’m off to do some work on this LABOR Day...
Future wars will be won based upon acquisition of information, not the ability to produce T-34's. Silicon, synthetic fibers and nanotechnology are now the national treasure that was once our heavy manufacturing.
