The temp worker thingy is both the stores and warehouses hiring seasonal help (as usual) and the temp agencies filling jobs at businesses all over. I believe that many businesses will not hire full time employees and actually increase their payrolls, but instead hire from agencies which gives...

Amnesty will lead to citizenship as the road to apply as a landed immigrant will become wide open. Let's face it once these people are forgiven breaking the law many will want to become citizens and some bright spark in the govt is going to push for it. They'll see the possibility in the...

I didn't relate this to europe but scandinavia. Don't matter though. The US is a fairly young country in the history of the world. But never mind that. Your current govt is headed towards granting all those illegals some form of amnesty and/or citizenship. If that happens, that 10 million...

I think a few are going overboard with thoughts here. The country will not be the United Soviet Socialist States of America but merely the United Socialist States of America as the Russians own the Soviet part and not enough of them have moved there to make it Russian. Next we all know that...

Between IT and Engineering India is advancing fast. They have some decent educational institutions (few) and the graduates from these are pretty good. But I know as well as you do that some who do these jobs will not be the best and we'll have to have our funny bone working for the coming...

This means that sending your kids to the right schools now matters more than it did before. My nephew applied for a job recently and they read his resume and the last educational institution listed was one they don't hire people from (due to the poor performance and knowledge of students from...

Hindsight is wonderful. The decision to drop the bombs was basically the right one. If the US had decided to maintain a blockade (easily done at that point in the war) they could have starved the islands and yes a lot more civilian deaths. Could have continued bombing and also expanded the...

Years ago Saab did away with the traditional assembly line. Each vehicle was built by a team. They are assigned a chassis and build it from beginning to end. I can't see GM losing that amount per vehicle but then again what were the costs in getting the cars built and to market. Saab has had a...

You're not going to have room in the garage for the car with the 275 gal tote in there. Rob

I like the smaller outfit as there is more interaction with dispatch, they remember who you are and usually give you a decent run if you've done a favour or had a bad run. I can walk in and babble at the owners one on one if I want which is nice. They seem to care about the operators out there...

Link crashed.... does this work? Rob

The new Taurus is the Ford Five Hundred rebadged so should make a nice driving buggy. Btw OVM Italy has had high speed pursuit vehicles like that for years to catch the guys on the highway system. There's no speed limits between cities there (or there used not to be) so the Germans and French...

Last year though was the year of the downturn and every other post (almost) was related to the bad freight etc. This has an effect on posters. Add to that the loss of a few of our numbers. Now at least new members are posting so a new spin on somethings may come into the mix. Everyone...

The jobs saved are a lot more than just the ones doing the roads or working on a few other projects. We must as the govt does account for all the suppliers to the companies doing the work and the couple of jobs each that were also saved. Hence you get a rosier picture of jobs saved. Now if...

So letz when are you starting the e-mail campaign to get the politicos to propose and pass the spending restrictions? Rob

Yeah the usual things like socket set (as compact as possible), hammer, set of screw drivers, pliers, assortment of combo wrenches and a pry bar or two and you should be set. Should all fit into one portable tool box and maybe the socket set case besides. Any more and you're hauling weight...

Actually the Cambridge area is a decent one for business. There are other companies in the area doing expedite such as K-Dac and Big M. There are others as well. Yes automotive was a driving force but there is other business as well. If doing this as an independent it'll take time to build...

What a lawyer spend his own money? Are you insane? Where did you get these restrictive and sensible ideals from? Must be that canuck mind working! Rob

You think so? hehehehe you bet! They're in for some surprises down the road, although I believe many are figuring it out and are trying to figure out how to counter. My third party idea is sounding better all the time!. Rob

As I said above I think the US govt is going to see the costs and do the downloading. It might be done a little differently than the canuck method but we all know something has to give in the coming years (only 3 left). So the Feds will be looking at ideas and the only other one is a larger tax...
