CNC operators are worth every dime. when I was studying engineering I spent time in the workshop using lathe machines, etc. and then programming CNC machines — they do require skill AND knowledge
Or accept a permanent welfare state and underclass. Your gonna pay one way or another.
Both you and Mr. Buchanan are correct.
I wasn’t required to write programs but it was required that I know how, part of the certification process was to write a program that actually worked and to produce the final product with said program. I did edit programs on the job however. Not a lot of manual labor but as you stated, you have to know a lot to be an operator.
yes — a CNC opeerator needs to know how the manual machine works, how to properly position the piece, how the programming works, to know something about metallurgy, shear force etc.
Thanks for pinging me here. I too am learning much on this day.
Do not have a link, yet somewhere in the deep dark recesses probably is a plan. A plan I do not endorse. There have been some links and there are those who do believe, if the people become uncontrollable the plan (probably in existence) would be unleashed. Perhaps the plan is already underway and unleashed? Do not know, but sometimes fear the plan is underway ...
Secure borders, anti-Open borders, massive immigration would destroy American, &c.
“Smoot-Hawley had little or no impact on the great depression. So quit with the free traitor lies on this thread.”
So you’re happy to endorse poor economic policies because they are less bad than other bad economic policies?
Get rid of the labor cartel, and watch business and jobs flow back to America. All a tariff at this point would do is crush American consumers and feed the state. Tariff + sales tax + income tax is the answer for you?
You forgot to add - Learn Farsi or Hindi or Mandarin, as that is what your co-workers will speak.
The way the system is now is that the dummies go on welfare. I understand that in France nearly half the population is dependent on government assistance of some kind.
Of course liberals will never blame the welfare state for that; they’ll say that capitalism failed and resulted in 50% unemployment.
I guess next you'll tell me that 6% union participation is too much. I say even if ALL private sector unions were eliminated it would stop the greed train. 96% of the US labor force is non-union so get real.
Bing... GO!
Of course, it's much more difficult to compete when one is running a union shop. Thus, it's typical for union slugs to blame the competition for the pain.
Union = labor monopoly.
Monopoly = higher costs, fewer choices and the stalling of capitalism
Yes, and 28 states with forced union laws. Do you know how much red tape is consumed by public sector unions? They need to be abolished.
Tariff and no income tax is the way the US used to work, and I have no problem with that, but at present, it would just be added onto everything else. You’d have the following:
National sales tax, state sales tax, national income tax, state income tax, plus a tariff. 5, count ‘em 5, taxes.
True, but that’s still a small operation. Enterprise-level applications are still to a large extent on m/fs
well, most Indian programmers are from Southern India, so instead of Hindi, you may need to learn Telugu or Kannada or Malayalam or Tamil or maybe even Marathi/Konkani :)
