Short Video of My Tiny Shop

OK. I lied.

This isn't my shop.  But it isn't YOUR'S either....

Your shop is so much smaller than I thought it would be.

My rep from CCI worked there. Many stories about that place. Notice all the people working. This is why America will never be a manufacturing country again. We can't afford the work force and be competitive.

We used to... before NAFTA.

We had Fruit of the Loom factories right here in my neck of the woods.  After NAFTA a lot of good people lost GOOD jobs.

Not viewable in Canada due to licencing problems....

Oh that reminds me of the ABercrombie and Hollister days.  Flock was a huge part of the business but talk about leaving all itchy and weird colors coming out your nose ugh.

Snort!

Just imagine 1 (one) old fat guy running around in a Dungeon, deciding what fire to put out next...tripping over junk that he doesn't need but can't bear to throw out. But occasionally... there are actually some shirts being printed. Got a mental picture of that???

But that'd be the wrong mental picture, because the Wimmens are always pestering me to come up front and do some menial task that they should have figured out themselves long ago. (I KNOW you've already rebooted your terminal. But did you UNPLUG it too?  Is there fuzz under the bobbin spring?? What WAS the actual message on the printer/computer/fax machine??!??   Grrr..... )

So there's NObody in the back, but the drier is running, the chiller is running, the air is leaking, and the meter is spinning.

If the US or Canada can not be a manufacturing force again, what will all the folks looking for jobs do?....

always amazed when i see these large factories with girls running the presses so slow, you would think they would be at top speed, their speed would never fly at any shop I ever worked at.

Thats not true at all. I worked for Mills Pride for a few years, they are the largest cabinet manufacturer in the world. Just the facility I worked at had over 5,000 employees working three shifts. If you looked into the buildings at any given time it would look just like the video above with hundreds of people working their arises off.

The one thing that nearly killed Mills Pride was Walmart. Walmart was a major buyer of Mills Pride and back in the day Walmart decided we no longer will be an American made company we are going to China. Because of that greedy BS thousands of jobs were lost just by Mills Pride alone, imagine all the other American Vendors as well.

Let me ask you do you really think Walmart would have failed if they didn't go to China? They were doing quite well up to that point, but they decided they wanted more $$$$$$. I am sure Hillary Clinton was probably part of it since she was on their board at the time they switched to asian vendors.

Yep, though you guys may think of me as some liberal progressive... that doesn't mean I like Clinton.    NAFTA was as backwards as it could be for our country!
