Re: t70 on a sohc?
Middle management is what has killed off the American economy + I don't really care to read a book in defense of how being a useless ------- paper pusher is a good thing. Engineering is leaving America because the majority of engineers want to do engineering for two whopping years, accrue zero experience, and then jump on the management train so they can start making the big bucks. This same principle applies to most other areas of industry that are leaving America. It's ------- stupid.
This is a disposable culture at it's height, populated with fat out of shape grease eating freaks, but it's okay because we'll throw it away and buy another culture from China when we're done with this one.

Companies are always going to try to find ways to make more money. That is their responsibility to their shareholders. I don't know if you have ever worked in a publicly held company before, but they have to be profit oriented. If they can save money through offshoring, then everyone is happy. Everyone except the person who lost their job.
In this day and age, and the future, the weak are going to fall further and further behind. The service sector (telemarketing, accounting, computer programming, engineering, scientific research etc.) will be outsourced to English speaking countries, and manufacturing will be outsourced to China. There's no question about that.
The only thing we can do about it, and what "The World Is Flat" talks about, is learning how to adapt and become leaders. Learning how to learn is going to be a great asset. Knowing how to adapt to changing economic influences and use them to our advantage is going to be what separates the sucessful from those who fall behind.
I don't know about you. But I am going to try my best to improve myself so that I can become a leader in the future of business.
Oh, and every dollar is not created through manufacturing. Banks create money every day by giving loans on a fraction of their reserves.

Our oh-so-vaunted "leadership" skills being percieved as more important than being able to do the ------- job have caused the American dollar to drop into the toilet. Where I used to carry the GNP of Canada (a Third World country to our north) in my back pocket as spending money, our dollar is now almost as worthless as theirs.
I don't know about you, but when you are a hard working intelligent type the best managers know they suck compared to you, leave you the ---- alone, and run interference for you when ****** try to keep you from doing your job. The majority of managers are not like this - they are fat, overweight, supremely confident in their own ignorance. And, apparently, they write snowjob books espousing why they are more important than anything else in the world.

This book was a New York times best seller for a number of months and is taught out of at a number of top schools around the nation including Harvard Business School. I heard about this book from the Harvard Business Review. If you think all of the top economics and business scholars around the nation know less than you do about the global economy, well then I have no more to say.
Anyways.
SSAuto T70s suck.
