Wow, great story CDMA. That confirms my suspicions about Vegas. One of the saddest things about the loss of so many manufacturing jobs in the US is that it is now much harder for blue collar people to earn a decent, honest living. Too funny about the “engineer” thing — to a lot of Americans, that’s the guy that drives the train or fixes the elevator.
As an aside, that Current TV “Vanguard” program is amazing. I just watched several episodes and learned a lot. They covered everything from Japan’s aging population to Chinese investment in Angola. A very cool show, even if it is on the AlGore-ithm’s personal TV channel. Too bad our “news” programs are too busy covering American Idol and sports to cover interesting topics like these.
