Msybe some of u old tits dont know, but at ONE facility in Shenzen foxconn employs 500k workers.

I am right. No reason there can't be manufacturing jobs at a price relative toward the skill required. Face it, automation is going to eliminate that soon enough . But loading trucks carrying things around for 10 times the average wage isn't going to happen. WSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Early seventies when the minimum wage was two something an hour Teamsters on the loading dock we're getting 30 bucks an hour. Sunday 60 bucks an hour and Easter Sunday because it was a holiday 90 bucks an hour. Don't know what the rubber shops or the auto plants orauto plants orplants are paying now. Bob?

calfoxwc Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 actually, it's a sign of mental illness to believe that one is a woodpecker. and no, DH did not joke about you licking ObaMao's toes. I actually got that from from something said on Dr Phil's show once. so, you are wrong, you can't speak intelligently about nearly any subject, and I am fine with conversations - it's just that you ruin them with your birdbrain woodypeckerhead drivel.

calfoxwc Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 you act like a woodpecker, that's on you.
