Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN ) for 6am. While his coffeepot ( MADE IN CHINA ) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor ( MADE IN HONG KONG ). He put on a dress shirt ( MADE IN SRI LANKA ), designer jeans ( MADE IN SINGAPORE ) and tennis shoes ( MADE IN KOREA ). After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet ( MADE IN INDIA ) he sat down with his calculator ( MADE IN MEXICO ) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch ( MADE IN TAIWAN ) to the radio ( MADE IN INDIA ) he got in his car ( MADE IN GERMANY ) filled it with GAS from Saudi Arabia and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN J O B . At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his Computer (Made In Malaysia ), Joe decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals ( MADE IN BRAZIL ) poured himself a glass of wine ( MADE IN FRANCE ) and turned on his TV ( MADE IN INDONESIA ), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in A M E R I C A ......

It sounds bad but imagine the power if all the factories in those countries were controlled by American companies. What we're ultimately doing is creating a 3 billion new customers for goods made by American companies.

I believe it would be considered maintenance, but he has been hurt many times doing his job x.x (he had to have knee replacement because of one accident he had had)

Well at least it would appear your dad's job is not one of those outsourced, and that's a good thing. Far to many are.

In my lifetime alone, I've seen this country become something other than what it used to be, and I wouldn't exactly call it better.

I don't exactly get what it is you're trying to say here... come again?

I think he is saying that outsourcing is a good and productive thing! Could be wrong though... :huh:
