I get paid salary, so yes, yes I do. The extrapolated math is just to provide perspective.

I guess you haven't been paying attention throughout 2018. Linda and I separating was a financial windfall for both of us. Other than rent, utilities, and food, we have no bills and no debt.

Well I can say that none of mine were made in a sweatshop that I studiously avoided knowing about.

Never dealt with a sweatshop. None of your toys came from one either. The level of quality and certification required from the legit China factories puts a lot of US places to shame. You're not going to win with your low brow broad brushing on this subject.

Perspective = feeling really sorry for how hard you have it while also being incredibly envious about how great your life is, right?

I'm sure that it's a complete coincidence that your separation coincided with the financial devastation of your company that also just so happened to coincide with your substance abuse problem that landed you in a psyche ward.

I'm also sure you totally followed up on that company line from the "mega-corporation" who you never suspected would destroy your business. I'll bet you even shook hands with a handpicked laborer who you didn't make eye contact with.

FOAD Frowny. :rofl:

For those of you living in a cliche'd bubble about what factories are like in China:

A Dirty Word In The U.S., 'Automation' Is A Buzzword In China | Bostonomix

Quote:

In the United States, automation may be a politically dirty word. But in China, it's a buzzword for politicians and CEOs.

Quote:

Last year, China was by far the largest market for robots, with sales nearly equal to all of Europe and the United States combined.

Quote:

China President Xi Jinping has laid out an ambitious plan called MadeInChina2025 encouraging automation to ensure companies keep advanced manufacturing in the country.

Quote:

"The Chinese approach is less hamstrung by some of the political debates that we face in the United States," said Gregory Allen, a fellow at the Center for a New American Security who previously worked with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and advised a number of robotic startups around Boston. "So, for instance, in the United States right now, there’s a lot of concern over unemployment through automation of jobs. That is just not as much of a concern in China."

Quote:

"Right now, their primary problem in China is a labor shortage, not an unemployment crisis," Allen said.

The labor shortage he's referring to is tied to the country's prior one-child policy. By 2040, China's workforce is expected to shrink by 90 million people, according to data from the World Bank.

Charles, step away from burgers and look into a career in psychology. You're a ****ing natural!

Frowny, maybe it's time you step away. Your coherence level is plummeting into the red with each new post.

Substance > knee jerk reaction meant to stoke.

There's substance there, so maybe it's time to step away. Your coherence and dignity levels are plummeting into the red with each post.

Substance > blaming other people for you not understanding their posts because they're not presented in sales pamphlet form

Quote:

"It’s getting difficult competing with lower-cost factories in like Southeast Asia," Wong said, referring to countries like Vietnam. "This is a big pressure on all the factories in Shanghai ... they're going to have to automate."

And so Wong is on a mission to automate his own factory. He sees it as his only choice for survival.

Surrounded by more than a dozen screens with bar graphs and flow charts detailing the productivity of each assembly line on his factory floor, Wong sits in his office in Shanghai explaining that he's already cut his workforce in half.

That is interesting, but it's also apparently a new phenomenon that I imagine may or may not have even applied to your company before it got shitcanned. I certainly imagine it didn't apply throughout your business' history, making this probably a pointless and manipulative ploy.

Anyway, a high school friend of mine that I started jamming with again recently with mentioned me to a few of his other friends who want to form a punk band with me now. Gonna meet them tomorrow, hopefully they're into no wave or can be easily converted. Depends on the chemistry and what they mean by punk I guess.
