[PAA-Discuss] Git'er done!

[rscott77092 at oplink.net]

There is a valuable lesson that business executives can learn from the
Chilean mine disaster when 33 men were trapped in a hole in the ground :
American workers can get the job done, done right and done on time.

A small American company with a small factory surrounded by cornfields
reacted to this emergency by creating a special drill bit that bored the
hole big enough to lift those miners out of the ground. Those Americans
worked around the clock to build those special drills and get them shipped
to Chile.

This was not a giant corporation with a recognizable name and facilities
all over the world. Those kinds of companies have been shutting down
factories in America and sending jobs overseas to places where labor is
cheap and workers are obedient to their masters. They did not respond to
an immediate need by dropping everything and inventing something new.

Americans did it. There's nothing wrong with American workers that can't
be solved by opportunity.

We have an old expression : "You get what you pay for." Giant
transnational corporations are not willing to pay fair living wages that
American workers need. They are only willing to pay for cheap labor from
workers who are obedient to their masters. The result is that the products
they ship to our retail stores are trash. That's all they pay for, so
that's all they get.

They don't get the "Git'er done" spirit that characterizes an American
worker who feels the respect that is communicated by a decent paycheck.
You only get that by paying American wages for American workers.

HIRE Americans - BUY American. You get what you pay for.

Thirty three Chilean miners are alive because Americans decided to git'er
done.
