Don't hesitate to make a connection between one's worth in production as
opposed to wanting to earn a couple hundred bucks per hour. People


in

the US have had too much, for too long, and have lost their perspective.
It's time for all of us to start realizing that unearned money is not in
anyone's interest---including the recipient.


Harold, please inform me about exactly which jobs are providing
that elusive "unearned money." I've been searching for those
for years. All the stories I hear along these lines seem to indicate
that shortly after the trainee thinks he has one, he gets fired
out the door.

Not referring to just machinists, Jim. Workpeople in general. Do you
feel a kid in high school, lacking skills of any kind, is worth over $7 hr
to serve burgers? I don't.

Do you think a UPS driver is worth $28 hr? I don't.


That's actually a pretty tough question.

My business *depends* on the UPS driver and even more
so on the FedEx driver. I appreciate it when they
come around at 7PM in the dark a couple of days
before Christmas rather than knocking off and going
home to their family. They are a damn sight more
important than the clowns that drive the little
white and blue Jeeps....

If they doesn't do their job, I'm outa business.

Not that I couldn't name a few employees that are
not worth $28/hr.
