I'm not bothering to read Tom Friedman's book. What happens when something
is innovated? They can just ship those jobs elsewhere too. What's to stop
them?
Do yourself and everyone a favor and just look at how it all works. We're
commoditizing jobs in this country and shipping them to somewhere else
where we can exploit the labor force there. This doesn't save the consumer
except where price is the selling point, such as Walmart. Even they get as
much as they can out of the consumer while undercutting the competition.
However, most items sell for the same price when they move production to
some 2nd or 3rd world country as they did when they built it in the USA and
actually paid their workers a decent living. Anyone who contests this
obviously hasn't taken economics. All we're doing is making those foreign
economies stronger, while weakening our own. Since 1980, our trade deficits
have grown, jobs have fled the US, and this country is being stripped of
any goods to sell the rest of the world in order to compete.

Your engine was designed by Nash in 1927:

They just added a water pump for today's lower radiators. A spin-on oil
filter for today's lazy people, Truckers still change the lubefiner,
like pictured on the '27.

Re: Detroit Vs Japan
I've been thinking about this kind of stuff, trying to decide what to study
in college...
I'm great at computers and originally went in for a computer science degree,
but since I've been wrenchin on this jeep I have been getting more
interested in working on cars...
Do you think being a dealership mechanic is a safe bet?
