BJ & emarine, Yoouse guys both are so right, the bureaucratic morons and the commie unions don't think that the person that works hard and invests a lot of money is entitled to a profit. & the epa crap & union demands have gotten way out of hand.......

Have you taken a close look at the profit levels of corporations lately.

Just how do you justify the wealth gap getting wider while all of the things you are stating that are so bad for corporations

Very few want to "lower" themselves to work on machines as they all want to be high paid executives or so they think. Most of them can't stand the work in the office because it is dull and boring and they don't teach our kids in school anymore about being proud of your work and job no matter what. A good machinist is worth his weight in gold to a good company. I know a lot of the machines are NC controlled nowadays but you still need skilled help to program and maintain the machines. These kids could earn a very good living by working on these machines and a lot of these machinists are the ones that come up with new inventions that make the machines that much better and allow them to progress up the ladder of success.

Just where does the money come from to buy the output of corporations. Perhaps it comes from wages paid to workers so that they can buy that which is produced.

If the products are not sold there isn't much profit.

In this country now moving money around creates wealth for the few. Wealth that has no real value. Playing with the money creates bubbles that collapse & the general public is ask to pick up the bill.

The public that pays going in & on the way out.

You've obviously never ben to a vo-tech school or, as they call them today, technical education schools. Class after class of kids (and older students) learning welding, pipe-fitting welding, electrics, auto mechanics, airframe and power plant repair (the gold standard of tech ed with 100% job placement year after year) culinary arts, plumbing. And the kids or older students seem to have plenty of healthy work ethic and feel no shame about their career choices. The two the-ed schools I covered regularly had a higher job placement percentage than any college or university. They're damn proud of their choice and don't look back.

Yes, there's no enough emphasis on tech ed. Not everybody wants to, or should go to college. There are some who look down on these kids, but not these kids themselves. They look at someone with a BA, a hundred thousand in college loans and no job-and these tec-ed kids smile.

These are the kids that have a good work ethic and aren't afraid of getting their hands dirty. These kids are going to make something for themselves in the future I'm sure of it. Every area that you mentioned and probably some that you didn't are all great areas to go into. Some of the best restaurants around started with a chef having an idea and a certain flair for food that the others didn't have and a certain way of making something. The best Bar-B-Que place in our city is no longer because the chef kept the secret to himself and wouldn't even share it with his brothers. Oh well someone else will come along someday. We just have to get our kids of off the street and teach them a good career where they can make good honest money and not have to fear for there lives like they do in the drug racket.

Just FYI, when I was on Recruiting duty there was an old Black Gentleman that made the best Bar-B-Que I had ever run across and when he passed on it went with him also. I had the pleasure of recruiting his grandson who wanted to be a cook into the Navy's Nuclear power program. He was one sharp young man. Anyway I ran across a sauce called "Stubbs" and it is some great stuff. I'm really fond of his "Smokey Mesquite"

Thanks I'll have to try it as soon as the weather warms up here. I don't do bar-b-que in the snow and I sure don't do it at 20 below zero. I guess I'll have to wait until that global warming takes place or it turns to summer here.

Why not barbecue in the snow? It's warm by the grill.
