@attbi_s21:

The whole thing sounds totally anti-American, but it looks like the rest
of
the world is getting rich from it!

Hilarious!

So why can't we (Americans, that is) make our *own* fancy pallets?
Surely
it's got to be cheaper to make them here, than to ship them from
Australia,
via Canada?

Cuz there'd probably have to be some union (carpentry?) demanding 20 bucks
an hour to start, two weeks paid vacation, medical/dental/vision coverage
for the whole family, all federal holidays off (and a few foreign ones as
well), 10 (or more) sick days/year...paid, full retirement benefits for
life at 100% last payrate, etc....etc....etc....

Brian

And when there were no pallets to build he would still demand a pay check
just like Ford and GM employees.
