Re: AC Delco problems

Re: AC Delco problems
Amazing what they can do with a 3 billion captive work force. Hard to compete with that.

I'm a GM tech and things are slow at the dealership were I work. I can't feed my family doing warranty work. It pay's half or less of what a customer would pay. Ed

Re: AC Delco problems
Pardon me for a second please......
Belair, Friend, You said the magic word... textiles. Everything is pouring in from China and the mid-east. I live in a town that was the largest manufacturer of textiles in the world... not just the USA. Not anymore though... the wrecking ball is knocking everything down that's been there for a hundred years. I guess I shouldn't complain because this is happening all over America in all different types of businesses. But I always have one question and it's the same question over and over... and that is... how can a nation that has to import all of it's things be stronger than a nation that doesn't? I just heard on CNN about the bird flu vaccine... (not human to human)... production is very low... guess what?... we don't make it here... it all has to be imported. Now that's a perfect example of what I was talking about. ktownkid

Now that's a perfect example of what I was talking about. ktownkid You can thank the Trial Lawyers for chasing the Vaccine manufacturers and other successful businesses to go either out of business or out of the country because of the Litigation Mentality that is now the norm of Society......I would like to write a book about Lawyers and would call it " The Rapeing of America".........Everyone can see what is happening with Health Insurance today......This is the end result of the unchecked Litigation Mentality that is now the norm.................just my $.02 Ken

Re: AC Delco problems
 Ken you are right on sir!The Government over there knows what they are doing...setting China up to be the dominating manufacturing center and when the products that they make hurt mame and kill someone ...just see how far the trial lawyers will get... The trade imbalance is so lopsided that it costs me $435.00 per container to ship 23 short tons from Charleston SC to Shanghai China. $350 of that is the handling charge in Shanghai! $85 in ocean freight ... To come back it'll cost$4000 though!!!
