People are very not sure if this is right but let’s try frickle. They wear blinders judging others when their house is “dirty”. They Dont like Chinese goods but 80% of their tools are from Harbor Freight. They badmouth Speedmaster but promote using Molnar cranks and rods. Possibly dyno engines on “MUTT” dynos with parts from all over the world. Get up in the morning and put on their non American made underwear. I fought this battle back in the 1970’s and 80’s because I worked in an American steel mill but people bought offshore cars because they got three mpg better gas mileage. The Chinese and other countries sold steel
Cheaper than you could make it because the government knew it was better for people to work than to hand them a check for sitting at home making babies and drinking beer all day. They were going to pay out anyway so why not become a World leading producer. We made all of our 600-1000 Pound Babbitt bearing in our millwright shop. Our country shut us down from doing it. We had a bronze producer three blocks from us. Our country shut them Down. They produced gears that looked like jewelry. We had 87 Millwrights when I started my apprenticeship. Our machine shop could provide us in-house anything we needed and suppliers were trucked in weekly. Somewhere around 43 machinist. 4300 plant wide employees over three non stop shifts. We had our own motor rewinders. We produced hundreds of thousands of E’s and I’s in-house for motor producers across the World. Do you know how many employees ATI now has at my plant. 430
Employees. That’s right 430 employees. Dont blame the Chinese. Blame our own country
