Update on machinist trainee

That's right Jim. It limits your customer base. But it seems to me that if a person tries hard enough even a relatively small number of potential customers can provide a decent income. Right now China is doing things that keep their goods cheaper than they would be if we really had free trade. Our trade policies, and theirs, prevent this now. I'm no economist and so can't speak with authority though. At this time it is very hard to find goods made in countries that pay their employees well. More and more I find products that were made in the USA a year or so ago are now being made in China or India. What can you do then? I try to then to buy a similar product that's not made in China. Or try to find a used one on ebay. I'm pretty sure that many of my customers do the same thing. ERS

Buick is making money in China because the cars sell for a premium price in China. Marketing, y'know. It costs about 5% more to make a Regal in China than in Flint.

I will put in a word for my kid's school. One of the aims of the founders was to foster an entrepeneural spirit.

Precisely!

Another way to look at it is that it's a government-run chain letter.
