		<description><![CDATA[I worked in a machine shop during my college years. We had engineers that determined the production rates and set-up times. According to their various tables, certain metals could only be drilled at certain feed rates, at a specific rpm. They were frequently wrong. Some parts could be produced at 5 to 6 times the recommended rates, while others were nearly impossible to meet. The reason for the variability? Time studies initiated after workers figured out how to produce things faster and punched in production totals that exceeded hourly expectations.


We had a rule that we weren&#039;t supposed to go to tool and die without permission. I did it anyway and the tool and die guys made me various parts that sped up my set-ups tremendously. Unfortunately, the engineers didn&#039;t really understand how to speed up production, other than by reviewing production rates. Getting the expert machinists into the process never ocurred to them.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am what is known as a Mold Maker. CNC machining is a great tool to use in the production of Injection Molds for the plastic industry like stamping dies for metal components. The well educated department heads, mostly never turning a handle in their lives, decided that with this technology they will replace the costly toolmaker, while their salary grows. This theory will bite the US in the ass in the long run. I challenge any of you who are in engineering &quot;What do you know about designing/building an injection mold? Little to nothing but because you are an engineer it is thought that you can do it all, if your honest you know this is not true. We move in this direction foolishly. You need to train the Craftsman and it can not be done with books, skills are learned by doing. Automation has decimated the &quot;Plant&quot; where floor workers are concerned but Toolmakers will always be needed and they will have to be trained by their seniors. We are still suffering from the off-shoring and the fallacy of the Clinton declared conversion to a &quot;Service&quot; based economy is a not mentioned cause of how we got to where we are today. Who flipped a switch to a service economy? Did the things we need and want stopped being made? Well somebody is making a living somewhere making them but we do not need those jobs here? Off shoring is and was great for the investor class but it does not raise all boats here. America needs a very wide based economy, manufacturing is a large part of that and perpetuation of the skilled trades is crucial for our independence.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My post is gone

Here it is again.

Other countries are exporting their unemployment to the U.S.

Various groups in America are willing to insource these people for the the groups benefit.  The Democrats want a voting bloc.  Some businesses want cheap IL_LEGAL and legal 21st generation labor.

		<description><![CDATA[Other countries are outsourcing their unemployment to the U.S.

Until they automate businesses are willing to insource il_legal labor.

The Democrats just want a voting bloc so they can install themselves as modern day nobility.   The first kings were elected.  It was only later that it became hereditary. It could happen again.

Clinton
Bush
Sebellius
Pelosi
Kennedy
Madigan

These are all aristocratic families.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I would beg to differ. Any task that is repetitive can be automated. Most White and Blue collar work can be automated. Think pineapple picking machines and inside sales. Most of what we call &quot;work&quot; is repetitive stuff. The fact that it has not been automated does not mean that it cannot be. Machines are getting &quot;smarter&quot; and CHEAPER all the time. 
One more thing. In the old days, if you lost your job due to automation, you just went to another place to work. But now EVERYWHERE is being automated. Where do you go now?
How do 20 million illegal Mexicans with a 3rd grade education improve this situation?]]></description>
