VALKYRIE-EXCHANGE.COM Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Do I have to contact Shawn or does a moderator have access to update? -Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechamaniac Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Shawn, Graham or Myersjesse. However, last I heard, Shawn had not given the new passwords to Graham or Jesse. So, that pretty much narrows it down to Shawn, and we haven't heard from him in ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Good news guys. I finally managed to get in touch with Shawn last week and got the updated login info from him. I have already passed the info to myersjesse. As yet I have not had time to try logging onto the server to see if the passwords actually work.

As for Bush and Cheney, oh yeah... they get things done quick! 350407[/snapback] Dude, have you ever taken an Economics class? It has nothing to do with "wanting" cheap labor... American businesses are FORCED to get cheaper labor to keep their products competitive in the marketplace. American workers demand more, therefore if one manufactures here, the product may cost the end consumer twice as much. NO company can stay in business for long manufacturing here. The white house can't do a thing to stop this, its just a global economy. Thats the way things work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do the work of ten of them in half the time and thier only saving 30%, your right a bit though, the major corps push the supplliers to save money, but its mostlly they dont want to give up thier 13million dollor bonuses at the end of the year,,,oh, and the mans 3.4 million salary. I will say those days are numbered cause a global economy puts everyone in poverty level and only people with a lot of cash will be able to buy products, your not going to buy a caddy if you can barlly afford your mortgage (which will be going to 60 years soon) anyway, thats my rant, I hope it goes to survival of the fittist, Im an alpha male if you believe in that kinda thing, Ill stay away from your territory A1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me man, that isn't how the world works... If ANY business doesn't stay price competitive, they die... Here is an example. The new xBox jsut came out, and it runs like $350-400, its manufactured overseas. Lets just say when Sony puts our its next Play Station, they decide to have it built here... They will have to charge $700-800 to cover their costs. That sure would be nice to the American workers, however Sony would soon stop making Play Stations all together because nobody would be buying them.

pfunk Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I know what your saying, just that when people cant even afford the $300 model, what happens then? I worked on my garage this past weekend, and not to say that we (Americans) are doing it too ourselves, and between me and another guy (skilled trade) we put the roof on from 7:30am to 3:00 pm, and its 900 square feet. most foregn laborers cant get it done in 2 days with a crew of 3 for the same price, its just the company owner is too lazy to do the work himself, so he takes a small cut and highers migrant workers so he has least input for maximum output. For me that equals lazy,,, now putting that to a big business, most campanies want to subcontract the work and have a straight profit, for example playstation, designed here/Japan,, tools made in Japan/here (quality), Parts molded in china and assembled thier. Even though they have a government program that forces cheap/slave labor, they still have to buy the raw materials which is at the same price of all the other countries for the same quality. the only thing thier saving a bit of money on is the assembly. I have no doubt that a global economy is coming, but if you dont have a product that caters tward the rich or are rich to begin with (multi millionaire) you will be forced into poverty. then and only then will people realize the harm in not establishing and maintaining thier own economy. Look at China that place is heading for a major depresion with super inflation. its by the book, if economy isnt maintained when inflating it will crash. I agree with you in portion, but most companies are out to mazimize profit, not stay alive. do you really think that it would cost double to manifacture the same product here?,,,Japan doesnt think so when they open an assembly plant in Ohio. The rise of bankruptcies is the ignorance of thinking that your company and business will grow at the same rate every year or quarter and that if you dont meet that projection its considered a loss even though your still making profit or positive flow or whatever they call it IE, my company made 13.5 billion last year, one division only turned a profit of $.25 a share,, so they sold it and dont want to quote anymore business in that sector cause it isnt "profitable enough" thats just greed in my eyes and it will eventually lead to the downfall of my company and others like it (lear) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
