Why does everything have to be made in fucking china?
Why is that not obvious to everyone. In every case, jobs go overseas because business school graduates (and other technically ignorant people) become top management. Was that not yet obvious with everything designed in Boeing in the past decade? Boeing, once run by people from aviation, was taken over by MBAs from McDonnell Douglas. Fifteen years ago, Boeing employees were saying why jobs would be lost. "Boeing paid McDonnell Douglas to buy Boeing." Now all top Boeing management comes from the enemies of innovation.
Since 2001, top Boeing executives were from the ranks of GE's Jack Welsh. Neutron Jack, as he was sometimes called. Because he sold off GE divisions to overseas companies to protect profits - enrich top management. Head of the 737 Max program, Ed Clark, had a masters of arts degree from Derey - the online university. He was replaced by Kathy Ringgold whose previous experience (about five years ago) appears to be Philadelphia real estate. Somehow that means jobs will be saved? Because neither comes from where the work gets done?
At Three Mile Island, they knew a valve was leaking. Top Met Ed management wanted to save money. Refused to replace it. Three Mile Island 2 was the famous result. And three days of plant operators who could not even make phone calls for assistance for most of three days.
They could not find even one engineer that said it was safe to launch Challenger. So bean counters launched anyway. Clearly that was not murder? Clearly that created more jobs?
During the Steve Ballmer's ten years in Microsoft, one one successful product was created. Fortunately people (including Bill Gates) came back to save Microsoft - and those jobs.
Name an American tire company. Most all had to be sold to foreign manufacturers because they all refused to make radial tires. Then kludged crappy one that would tpyically fail 50% of the time. American jobs saved only when foreigners saved them by buying those companies.
Most all cars now made in American have foreign nameplates. Because top management in the American auto companies (almost all) did not even drive cars. They did exactly what is taught in business schools.
Why are so many trains now crashing in Norfolk Southern. Now that an MBA took over. He even increased train speeds 10 MPH - to increase profits. Last crash was three separate trains, all in one crash near Bethlehem PA.
Why were all those new Coast Guard cutters eventually sold to an African nation? And then superior cutters from Netherlands purchased? Why are the new Navy destroyers and littoral ships now being scrapped? Simply view management responsible for their designs.
85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management.
China uses engineers. So world leaders in a latest innovation (EVs) are now Chinese.
Clinton gave the American automakers $100 million to develop hybrids in the early 1990s. GM finally came out with their first one in 2010 - 20 years later. Chevy Volt. Its engine could not even recharge its own battery. Rest of the world had been doing hybrids, the correct way, for up to 10 years. GM finally came out with a hybrid that could recharge it own battery in 2020. Almost 30 years later.
What patriotic companies got all the jobs? Foreign ones. Jobs are only created by innovation. Never by what is taught in business schools.
What are the most American degrees? Business school degrees. People not taught how the work gets done.
