I have to cut steel like that every day in my welding class. we do electrode arc welding on that kind of steel too. Ya know, even though im not supposed too i take my welding electrode and make a big pool of molten metal on a scrap piece sometimes, and i will take my slag hammer and play with the molten metal. Its really cool, but dangerous. Nice catch with the steel train kid. Try to find some old steamer will ya? if ya do, shoot me the video.
Young fella: Too bad you never saw all the prosperity and good jobs that these industry once bought America. You are in for a future of lower wages and higher taxes to fill the hole that manufacturing has left. Hope your parents are saving alot for that career in healthcare. Then again who can afford to pay you?
Being an engineer and not a lawyer like the politicians and congress I can't I find any logic in the current economic plan. To have a good economy and low taxes you have to have an industrial base that employs the working people and pays them real wages. The service economy needs the industrial base to which it can service. We can't have both a prosperous economy and 1/3 of the nation living in poverty because the math does not add up.
The cost to America for opening the markets and giving away the farm will be 1/3 or more living in poverty and a higher cost for the problems that come with that along with a dead economy being the norm. Combine the lower paying jobs taxed at a higher rate and you this nation still will not balance the budget. Medicare and social security were formed in times when working people were earning wages above the poverty level. What we have now is an unsustainable mess.
What I am hoping for is for someone to take the chance on America by marketing U.S. made goods and creating a brand recognition. Executive greed and expensive oil will undermine the competitiveness of the global brands thus making it very practical and competitive to produce goods near a market with U.S. labor. The real ace in the hole is that I am counting on the executives never being able to make enough and that being the undoing.
Understand that for the cost of the top 100 executive wage earners at many of the global brands you could employ a hundred factories here in America paying U.S. wages and taxes and not only defeat the global brand but be profitable as well. Greed will ultimately be the undoing. I work in manufacturing and love the work and could be very happy running such a company for much less than the overpaid corporate elite.
For the global guys the cost of the good is the cost of the lazy executives along with inventory and the high cost of shipping. A better good could be produced if the majority of the cost went into producing a quality good. When goods are produced on demand near the market rather than shipped thousands of miles then wharehoused the cost savings is huge thus mark up reduced. Why do you think the foreign autos locate factories here?
Lawyers and U.S. educated business people should be banned from working in congress and making decisions. Neither has the logic to think anything through. America produces the worst corporate leadership on earth. There is no creativity and no talent in those ranks and no justification for the high money they make. The result is the mess America is in right now.
The remainder on the once great industry that we had here in the United States. The big manufacturing tax base funded the U.S. treasury along with local government. Now the U.S. taxpayer will be picking up the tab. Doesn't seem to be going to well so far. Federal government can't pay it's bills and many local governments are in trouble. Add the higher taxes and lower wages coming our way on the price of the cheap wall mart goods.
what are you talking about?? If your saying i push him alot, your wrong, at the most, i call for him to take me somewhere 2 times a week, and they;re usually a fair distance away, but nothing obserd. I dont force him either, he enjoys going.
I entirely understand where you are going here gim721. My pap is my only transportation to these locations, and once I am driving he shall finally be laid off as in riding the passenger seat and relaxing. The farthest he has taken me is about 1 hr away at the max. I will not exceed more than 1 hr and 15 mins as it is too far of a drive for a day
Not a bad catch, but relax a little! I'd be excited about seeing something like that rolling along right in front of me, but your voice sounds like you're about to pop.
im not sure what the date was, but i know it was around that time, and no i was not on the train, i was walkin through the tunnelas i do alot, in case you have no been in it there are little spaces in the wall that you can stand in while a train goes by, and i remember seeing someone stnding on that hill where you were one day when i was with my friend.

Well no shit. Before you go off on me in this video, understand these few things first off.
1. I was just beginning to video at this time and didn't know any better.
2. This was a hand held digital camera and the location isn't easy to shoot unless you risk getting police called on you.
3. Look at my videos now, and do you see any sort of mediocre videos as such shown above?
4. I don't even see any videos from your channel, so who are you to criticize me when you have nothing to even show!
xxxDeath9572xxx 2 years ago
So, maybe next time before you go criticizing people's videos, you'll think about the fact of you have no room to talk.
