[Vwdiesel] USA bashing ??? ---( me hagar ? are you kidding )

[H.Hagar]

Was Claus Von.Staufenberg   Germany bashing ?  ---then yes.    NO it is
a problem with beancounters  and the bottom line.

Take a look at manufacturing in USA  ---- Ford T ---pay was good but lifestyle
was worse than a coal mine.   All day all you do is put a front wheel on --and
another and another and another ----???? --efficient ? yes.

Volvo imported the USA system  -----workers revolted ---Volvo changed operating
system to a team effort. Every member got to do all the jobs needed. And the
TEAM signature was put on that car.   That made for some happy workers.-
and probably for some fine cars.

I have a deep rooted LOVE for Amerika ---- but has she got growing pains ????
bet your ass.

Why did Ford  change to Quality is Job 1 ?   ---simple  -- dollars were Job 1 before.
American living standard has got so high ---that you are a nobody if you take jobs
like that.-------- will that ladder of better ever end ?  ---who knows.  Like lots of us
we(I) got lazy and we no longer have that hungry feeling.
Have I seen workers on assembly line jobs ?   ---are you kidding ---to the day I die
I will be embarrassed.  It is downright un amerikan.

Have I ever prostituded myself to industry to get bread on the table ? ----yes.
So if you are an assembly line worker ---PLEASE PLEASE take no offence.
I never did work on a line like that ---- I sometimes wish I had ---to make me more
compassionate.

Hagar.
