China, we are serving prison sentences

[Gurkha]

China: `We feel like we are serving prison sentences’, say factory workers for Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Lenovo, Microsoft and IBM

Workers sit on hard wooden stools without backrests 12 hours a day racing to complete 500 keyboards an hour. Each worker will complete 35,750 operations a day.

Wonder how they keep their quality up this way?

Yeah, well the more this gets out the better...

I went to the store this weekend looking for a new grill. I saw a really nice AMANA for sale. I was just about to take it when I saw it was made in China. AMANA? I thought they were a Mennonite co-op and made their stuff in Wi and Ohio. Needless to say, I said F*** that and left without the grill. Guess I will stick with my old made in USA Kennmore

that explains the low quality. China has never been kind to its workers.

US workers make excellent world standard vehicles from foreign brands like Honda, Toyota et al, that explains only one thing, they are mis managed by greedy, selfish, self serving upper management. Actually the so called upper management and their shameful principles totally destroyed the quality and reputation of US auto labels beyond repair. The same US brands who gave us GT-40, Corvettes etc. are surely capable of making world standard cars if managed right.

For them there is no such thing as shame, and there can never be too much greed.

Sounds like a praise for Capitalism, or at least what some think Capitalism to be.

Greed is good.

Gordon Gekko is a dork. On top of that, he's also outdated.

It is exactly this kind of philosophy (greed is good) embarking in the 80's, which brought this country to where it is now.

It is the abandonment of any moral attitude and instead recklessly subscribe to to the blunt admission of full force greed as a vehicle to to establish human accomplishment, which is in reality nothing more but accumulation of numerical monetary quantities.

The possibilities of fixing this current financial problem are very slim, at least in my view. It will require a complete reset of America’s personality profile.

It is exactly such proposals and role models produced in Hollywood strips like ‘Wallstreet’, that brought us to where we are at right now. (repetition)

One could also call it legitimized recklessness and culture legal rip-off. None of this functions anymore, not now and much less in the future.

The motto will be: “America, show us what you really got. Show us your backbone!”

Personally, as an actor, M. Douglas is to me no more than a measly shadow of his father’s name. His early years, when he got his ‘on the job’ training with Karl Malden in “Streets of San Francisco” he still impersonated an ambitious profile. After that … pffft.

And remember, even his father Kirk Douglas was regarded as “Hey, actor …!” by icons like John ‘The Duke’ Wayne.

For all those who are born some time around the 80’s, I understand, growing up in the shades of the most daring financial culture of all times, is very impressive and mind boggling. Unfortunately, it simply doesn’t work and that’s what we see at the present.
