And everybody is effected regardless of what you make as skilled labor. And as the prices of goods and services have climbed sky-high, no other Country on earth wants to buy from us, the US. Even American Industry doesn't want to pay the high labor rates, and that's where cheaper labor Countries come into play. Do you see?
The only way to defeat this thing is to drop minimum wage for unskilled labor to $1 per hour and leave it there forever.
Prices all across the board will drop as salaries for skilled labor sink, too. The advantage in all of this is that the United States will once again become competitive in world markets. The National Debt will drop too as we export more goods than import from other Countries. Make sense?
Now, back to business.
I'm not quite ready to have things machined - though I'm not that far from it. 1st things 1st, I'm developing a product that can be marketed and sold across the Nation. This is simply to develop a decent cash flow so that the Banks will work with me. After that, there will be bigger Projects to tackle. That's when my Company will employ - well let's just say - a lot of skilled workers.
For the moment, I need a link to where I could get a gooseneck for a lamp that clips to a computer.
The lamp is finished and works fine. Took me 2 months to finally learn electronics, and I have other projects on the drawing board. Those may require large amounts of money to produce, even the prototypes.
I did not just fall off the banana boat, you know! I know all about Research & Development, Financing, Stock Ownership, 3D drawings, CAD, CAM, Schematics, Computer Programming, Computer Engineering, Computer Design, and much, much more.
That's just work related stuff to keep me busy! I'm also an Officer of THE LORD, and have orders to rebuild Civilization after God is done reshaping the earth, or the continents on the earth. If you are with me, you may be a Survivor of The Great Deluge. Otherwise, you may just go again. If so, you'll have to relearn everything that you've already learned. Dig?
