Re: Charts, Graphs, & data piles.

I got a copy of the PA summery of vehicle registrations for 2020. Tells how many of each classification of cars, trucks, trailers, motorcycles, etc by fuel used, [strike]handicapped[/strike] Disability plates, etc by county.
But at the end of the pages of county stats they have out of state. WTF, why would you register your vehicle here if you ain't?
I guess people who live in and around NYC would register at their place in the Poconos. Rental trucks/trailers owned by a corporation out of state. School busses rented from an out of state corporation. But 72,000 trucks in the pickup weight slots, and 85 hearses, for over 12 million total just boggles my mind.

It turns out that the Terminator movies were wrong and the machines are killing off the human race by seducing us and keeping us from spending time with one another.  Don't believe me? Look at where your attention is right now.

Indubitably, but it won't show up at retail level unless it's sustained for quite awhile.

I always wondered why people complain about crime so much in this country and vote for politicians who fund cops, and now I see why.  I didn't know I lived in an anomaly.

Re: Charts, Graphs, & data piles.

There are Federal programs to help train people to build roads. Not the engineers who design them but the actual get you hands dirty builders. There is apparently people willing to do the work but can't get hired because of a lack of experience. Say a person has been working for an outfit doing concrete foundations and celler slabs. It doesn't take much training to bring them up to speed on concrete highway building but contractors don't want to train them.

Re: Charts, Graphs, & data piles.

That trend is directly traceable to a spreadsheet mentality that makes all decisions from costs - not from value.  Same created a major shortage of welders.  Companies refused to pay for training welders.  Since a more experiences (better trained) welder requires higher pay.  Or will move on.

According to business school graduates, training only increases costs.  Better trained welders have no value.  Reality: a better educated welder who is paid more money ACTUALLY means higher profits.  But reasons for those profits does not have an entry on spreadsheets.  So it does not exist.

Cost controls claim training is an expense - not an asset to a company.  A problem directly traceable to top management that does not come from where the work get done.  That comes from business schools.  Another example of a well proven reality.  85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management.

Re: Charts, Graphs, & data piles.

But if you train better welders somebody else will hire them away for more money they can afford to pay because they didn't have to pay for training. We'll just let the robots do it.
