NO and neither would you Rufus. The people in this country expect to be paid a living wage and have good working conditions. They don't expect to be paid as Chinese slaves.


So, moving a 100k jobs and the factory here is not happening then. Reality is a cruel mistress, :wink: and folks need to accept that and move on. BTW, a lot of those "slaves' now get some pretty decent wages and instead of wanting to stay in the US and make money, the technical STEM trained kids go back to China to get paid more than we can pay them here. We fail to compete all around.

The unions are all pushing for $15 minimum wage even if it's just to flip burgers.

Foxconn to Wisconsin
Wisconsin is guaranteeing Foxconn almost $3 billion, but Foxconn is not contractually guaranteeing how many full-time employees it will hire, for how long and at what pay," Wisconsin’s offer could amount to more than $1 million per job. That could occur If Foxconn invests $9 billion in the plant and equipment, but hires only 1,500 workers. But there is no evidence the company would invest that much and employ 1,500 people.

This factory will build liquid crystal display (LCD) panels, this is basically an automated process.

When the myth is better than the truth, they all print the myth. The source in always anonymous.

The myth is always better when it is attributed to one's hero or the one you hate, even when it is obvious nonsense - it's still believed.

I wonder how many people still believe there is still Excalibur out there somewhere. Waiting. Hoping.

How many suspect the Anti-Christ has already arrived?

Was there Evil present on Earth before humans arrived? And from where did we come? And why? How?

Anybody have a myth to address that last question array? And even if you did, how would we know it was a myth and not Truth?

I wonder if he would arrive in "The Day the Earth Stood Still" fashion. If he arrives like that, say, Klaatu barada nikto. Maybe it's actually Arthurian-speak!? (You may have discovered something. Or was it I ?) :mrgreen:

I'm waiting for Elric of Melniboné - he's got a better sword.

Yes, but the wielding of Stormbringer is a two edged sword.
