<p>I am particularly disturbed by the poster who knows of Forklift jobs and could not get them as a Native of the USA. Yet Immigrants flock to these jobs apparently pre-arranged out of Columbia in Latin America?</p><p>Is that how I understood it? Correct me if Im wrong.</p><p>Regarding cars, Ford did not constantly update the Taurus model like the Japanese did with thier Toyotas and Hondas. Therefore Ford Taurus was not much of a car when people wanted to buy quality. In fact I considered the Taurus a bit of a brick/sled/barge in it's later production years compared to the more precise Japanese cars that are capable of doing battle in rush hour traffic with some agility.</p><p>Who do we blame? THe management? The Designers? The Factory? who knows?</p><p>I passed a few towns on the way home from the VA yesterday and noticed that people are adding on instead of buying newer or bigger homes. They are building service stations and delis where others can come to spend money. What happens when there is no more income to be made and all there is "Service" as far as the eye can see?</p><p>Yet down in Williamsburg there is a Facility that turns alumimum coil into Beer Cans. Ive taken coils out of Kentucky over the Smokies and deliver into the Busch facility. They can always use Aluminum and it does not look like we are going to run out of Aluminum or stop drinking beer anytime soon.</p><p>Unless they manage to build a plastic can for beer. Would that be a killer?</p>
