Well guys its a great thread... There was a time when if someone told me they were planning on selling "bottled water" or that someday we would be paying for "satellite dish" for our televisons, would have called them a LIAR....but, things are changing before our eyes, and we must change with it. As Marcus stated, its the bottom line as far as profits go, and by that, its usually forget the workmanship. It will bite them in the rear in time, but during that time, you wont eat well, you"ll get behind in your car and house payments,and even if you get back to work, you have already lost so much with the loss of income, even your wife up and leaves. I think that there will be work out there, it may not be up to par with the lifestyle you are living right now, so adjustments will have to be made, and you cant live beyond your own means anylonger.. In the process of the downturn, it also causes more ripple effects, the company you get your tools from would of had to lay some people off, that happened in the machine trade, the poor salesman who sold us tool-inserts and holders, was put out to pasture, our purchasing agent who ordered materials, was let go suddenly, and it goes on and on.. Just something to ponder .....With the discussions---at least it gives everyone time to think over the situation and decide how to handle things that might arise so no-one is blindsided.....
