But I just returned from China last month. I was there 3 months and saw a Buick plant...BIG plant. New cars parked across street just waiting for freight truck to carry them out.

And we sell our used materials too. This really pisses me off. This is recycled material we need for our production purposes. They sell it right back to us, but at inflated price. Are we stupid or what?

And waht about the local "machine shop?" Where did those go?
