What's NOT Made in China?

Hello Andre <br /> <br />No, I don't blame China for trying to make a quality product. I blame China for being a Communist hell hole, for using its citizens (including children) as slave labor, for not caring about becoming a good member of the world community, for selling weapons systems and dangerous technologies to anyone that wants them, for all the counterfeiting of the world's products that they do. These things, and others. Don't confuse Japan, or South Korea, with China. <br /> <br />I agree with you concerning MBA's. <br /> <br />Like you, I have a 401k, and have tried to save as much as possible. But I read a couple of comments that seemed to come from some people that worked for the ATT's all their life and recieved that big pension with health benefits, and want to tell the rest of us that the world is still peachy. They are out of touch and tick me off. (Is ATT still even in business?, barely.) <br /> <br />Like you, a job that I worked at for 27 years is gone. Supplied and maintained industrial equipment. Went out of business because there is such less demand for industrial equipment. My job before that, in a machine shop, also went out of business for lack of work. I started my own little business ... I have no health insurance. I wish I could just take it easy like you, but I have kids that I would like to put through college. What's one year at a state university this September? 25k. <br /> <br />My oldest son enters college in 2 years. I was so pleased with his interest in mechanical engineering. But if all our manufacturing will be in China, just how many ME's do we need, I sometimes wonder. <br /> <br />I guess we could all just work for the government. <br /> <br />Jim <br />
