| Classe move to China Its kind of sad to be of an age where I've personally witnessed the decline and now, downward spiral, of our economy. It needn't be this way: other courses were and are readily available. Its a failure of will on the part of the electorate to full... | |
| Classe move to China Illiteracy is a point well taken by the automotive industry. Workers here needed color coded manuals to aid in following directions as opposed to the Canadians who didn't. What won out were the guarantees made by our politicians of giant tax break... | |
| Classe move to China Beautiful.What were we talking about anyway?Oh well. | |
| Classe move to China Inna:Can't get the link to work but knowing you from your posts, it had to be good and/or thought provoking. | |
| Classe move to China Pubul57:Yes, indeed. Germany (as well as Japan) modeled themselves after us as we were the greatest economic and societal power, at the time. From WWII on to the Reagan years we witnessed the greatest middle class advancement in the history of the... | |
| Classe move to China South Korea is doing what China has done and what we have abandoned: a protectionist market with steep tariffs and a buy locally policy. In the early 70s the major export for So. Korea was human hair for wigs. Samsung was a fishing and fertilizer ... | |
| Classe move to China I should have read the link before my last post but having now read it, I'd like to point out that we aren't far behind. Politicians on the right (Newt, Perry, the govenor of PA and others) have already called for the elimination of child labor la... | |
| Classe move to China Not only that, but a few employees there have committed suicide and they had to install fences on the rooftop to keep them from jumping.Nice work, if you can get it. | |
| Classe move to China Inna:I like your take on Swift's "A Modest Proposal".All the best,Nonoise | |
| Classe move to China Danlib1:Don't get me wrong: I'm a a big proponent of capitalism. It's when capitalism supplants democracy as a form of government that gets my hackles up. I agree with everything you say about morals and ethics and that was my point, all wrapped u... | |
| Classe move to China And I'd like to point out something that always pops up in discussions like this and that is our buying of foreign products is not the reason why our jobs have gone overseas but is, instead, a result of our jobs going overseas. I'd gladly pay 5-10... | |
| Classe move to China Fundsgon is onto something here. The next big market is China and they have tariffs (like we used to have from Washington until Reagan) that would make importation obscenely expensive. For a predatory, profit driven board of directors, its a smart... | |
| Classe move to China If I were to hold anything against Classe it would be their decision to build in China and the resultant loss of jobs in Canada, not because of perceived lower standards in construction. Some Chinese brands are very well made. As for capitalism, i... | |
| Loss of inner detail If I were to hazard a guess it would either be the transport or the cable. I know what you mean by loss of detail having experienced it firsthand. What was there is now diminished or simply gone. That would have me scratching my head as well.Time ... | |
| Have digital players improved I think digital has risen to the level of analog as long as it is a well sorted out system.I grew up with tubes and turntables for the better part of my life and hated CDs when they first came out. Now it's all nostalgia for me and nothing more. Y... |
