China

labdude · 03-06-2008, 02:15 PM

Right under this forum, put the one for listing of users of off shore items. NOT JUST CHINA.
I have heard that AOA is moving things to Florida, to begin off shore shipping. Maybe to Puerto Rico??? U.S. spot, but labor is probably cheaper, I'm not sure.
Items meaning, parts or whole items made off shore.
Parts being things comparable to the wheat gluten we obtain from China for our own food. (stuff that killed a lot of pets)

Allow for listing names and number only. No bad mouthing allowed.
Names and sourse for info only.
Mike.

Your for this too? I don't think its worth the trouble that it will bring me or even the site. I make zero money from the site, I do this site for fun. One person who gets listed for outsourcing and he looses business because of it he comes back to me with a lawsuit. I cant afford this, and the site will most likely stop.

What advantages would there be in telling people who outsource?
Will dentists see these labs that are known to outsource?
Will this change anything?

I talked to a few friends of mine about this and they all advise me not to do this.

I am against any outsourcing in our industry. I know there are people that are a part of this site that profit by outsourcing (Look at the links). We have a global economy for something that is custom made? China no less, wtf is wrong with these people?

Smith Sterling labs goes to Florida first then gets mailed to Costa Rica. I don't know what makes Florida the key to this. Maybe there using private shipping.

O.K. Kind and gentle lab sharing site will survive. Problematic listing...certain death for site. Good choice.
Global economy is inevitable someday. We are stuck on this planet. The way it comes about will have the mix we see today. Greed driven sometimes, sometimes not. Unreal the way some countries treat their people. I hope someday ot all levels out and mankind can move on to better things.
Guys going to Florida then shipping from there, just a little less expensive than shipping from Oregon to off shore. Quicker as well.
People buying things these days will at one time say they are concerned big time where things come from and what is in those things. Then a moment later theybuy those same things. Lead or contaminated wheat gluten or not. Who knows what else is contained in things we consume and where it comes from.
Sort of a cold war type thing in a way, kill them slowly and quietly, or maybe just sicken and weaken. If caught, deny wrong doing and understanding that anything was wrong, or contained something harmful.
Huge problem.
While on the issue of problematic things......
How does your wife feel about that motorcycle???

Its alot of fun. The wife has supported my new bike and me ridding. She wants to ride with me when the weather warms up.

I like those road and dirt bikes. I had a couple back when. Safer than the other type I had.
I am still concerned, I was lucky, back then. I used to ride with my wife as well. We had a great time.
Bad part, I lost some friends to them as well. I like this site, you seem friendly, your wife is kind and has a sense of humor. If you guys hurt yourselves I'll come out there and beat you both!!
You can however still type after some injuries using a stick in your mouth. And those new chairs they have, you can steer around by just puffing air into a straw!!! COOL!!!
I am old now, you be careful and get old too.
Mike.
