Have the Brunswick bowling ball buyers seen
« on: March 13, 2009, 12:55:52 AM »
the break or cost savings that Brunswick has seen with its move to Mexico.  In mexico you can have labor alone that is one quarter the labor rate herein the US and also all the laws and rules with regards to safety and enviornment is much less restrictive saving a lot of money.

Has any of that savings been passed on to us the consumer?

I don't think so.

I read in this morning paper that unemployment might go up to 12-15%.  I also read that California has extended unemployment benefits from 59 weeks to 72 weeks.  I also read that this unemployment benefit extension will be mostly through the stimulus package.  Thats right, California accepted the money for the additional unemployment benefits from the stimulus package.  Thats just California alone and they are only considering the legally working/not working and not those who either don't want to work or are working illegally. So lets jump on those band wagons for the companies who want to jump up and leave the US for other countries, I mean they are corporations and have a responsibility to their investors, but not the US citizens they are abandoning.

What do you do when the jobs continue to go away altogether?  I understand that many things we buy are made out of country and we have to buy them or almost have to.  But that doesn't say ho we're going to help the economy if all we continue to say is "well, thats the corporate life".  Understand how unions negatively effected the economy, I grew up in New Jersey. But we better find a way to keep jobs here in the US or we'll becaoe even more of a welfare country.

Wow CRD,  Most of your last post got my point dead on.  Congratulations.  Those service jobs will be done initially by illegal immagrants that most will become legal immagrants.  I have no problem with legal immagrants. But even a lot of legal immagrants live two to three familes to a household and those that don't, usually have children of working age bringing in an income.  We the spoiled US citizen will collect unemployment and welfare long before we do those service jobs.

So did you read in this morning's paper that the US government is going to start buying their condoms from Asia?  The company that was making the condoms for USAID said that they were told that an Asia company can make the condoms faster and cheaper then the company in Alabama.  So I don't know how many of the 300 employees will losse their jobs.  I realize its just a little operation, but even now the government is outsourcing jobs to foriegn companies.

Yeah, just look how good China's population is. No they're going to be making our condoms?

i wonder how many of the viewers on this website realize that if it hadn't been for the financial assistance from brunswick the pba would have gone belly up in the late 1990's ?
