Exactly John

A mortgage was 10 or 15 years then as well. Today most will never be free and clear before death.
My career hero and mentor Mr. Lee Iaccoca said it in his book "Talking Straight".
We'll be leaving the kids the mortgage, not the deeds it said.
I modeled my own management skills by his read. He said the lines keep the money moving, and the money keeps the lines moving. He was not anti-labor.
So I figured so long as I made money for the company, I'd have a job until retirement.
Ha! If corporations are people too, they have a strange way of showing it. I had maybe two low inventory counts for my dept. in 20 years, and always got it back up the next term.
With all the guff today about trade wars and tariff's, if somebody was concerned about our manufacturing base being outsourced, where was he when Reagan, etc. was busting organized labor? They allowed us into Mexico, and China. So now a union has little bargaining power. Bring back the plants, and the unions will get strong again. The companies don't want that. Soon, there'll be no place to work workers were told, so they gave concessions. Even when a company was still very profitable. They ended up on the street anyhow after a while. In China, and Soviet union, they only had the right to remain poor, not to mention starving. No work incentives, no productivity. Mexico treats workers poorly, and we were trading with a red communist nation which killed baby girls to control population. Now they want more babies born here, but will cry when more are on welfare too. It's a dead horse now. You can't tariff anything when you have no factories left for capacity to make anything.
It's a different world. How many young people even want a factory job? Nill. They all want to be gaming developers, web designers, cannabis growers, and dope dealers. Not my problem now. Our kids got educations. I'll be dead before much changes in 20 to 30 years.
