They need O.S.H.A. That would fix the trade deficit fast.

I think ours is Korean. The prick gave us a ticket for not having a no smoking sign on the desk.

We make some stuff over in China (I hate to say that) and send one of our guys over to supervise/spy once a month. That hard hat is more like a cushion, they carry heavy stuff on their heads. :beat

Most of the workers will be off for a month for the New Year celebration so I'm trying to get as much out of there as possible.....I have 3 containers scheduled to hit next week, but I need 12 more  :banghead

It's a fact of Life:

After Monday and Tuesday, even the Calendar says : WTF .......

That sounds like a good thing. Or are they that far behind?

Exactly! But you have to stay on top of things....

Those guys at Mattel and others who didn't specify the coatings on their toys and QC the finished goods are to blame for the big eff-up with the lead based paint.

All my tooling and mothers are produced here and shipped with my materials there. The labor difference offsets those costs believe it or not.
And I do run a parallel line here just in case a boat sinks :eek
