[quote CONCHO]I am heartened by this new show “Hoarders”, though. I think that hoarding cleanup might be a good business to get into.[/quote]I think that the ‘Got-Junk’ guy got a serious head start. Those are his trucks on the show in many cases. We need to find the next big thing. I have seen some of the shows and am quite amazed at some of the situations.
[quote CONCHO]I feel your pain UCG, but I’m worried that the outcome will simply be to move everything overseas. Case in point – I know of a couple of projects where everyone involved is in China except project management which is here in the US. They have lots of problems, delays, etc… that all come down to time zone and communications issues. So what’s easier? Move all of the work back here or just hire a PM in China?[/quote]I think they will hire a PM and then also higher up management ends up being moved out to China. The funny thing is that having a Chinese PM will not solve the issues. I have found that there are small pockets of good strong technical excellence in India and China, but most of the country is not that technically literate. It is something that GM discovered with its exhaust manufacturing plant. Turns out that the US was actually cheaper when looking at total costs.
