let me think of a few advantages to having mexico do more manufacturing for us:.
- low cost labor .
- just drive around or jump over the wall to see family and friends.
A better made in USA product. old washers and fridges lasted 30 to 40 years. not now . Some of it is reengineering and bean counters instead if the workman. Craftsmanship is being lost.
Even the paint I just bought has such thin metal can you cant replace the lids tightly.
this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.
latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.
the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.
Congress exempted themselves from SEC regulations.

The collections seem to be case lots preferred and only specific items. I smell a surplus auction
my phone number seems to be mixed in a group elder text.
cryptic things come through that make no sense.
a list of needed items and a will do reply.
This isnt official yet here. It is just that some inept elder got my number mixed in with the spiritual leaders. I dont recognize the numbers, ID doesnt have a name. Just a list and a " will do". They are having non stop elder meetings and the CO is in the mix somewhere
As usual they have no clue running a real charity
i recall when it was released ,that's when i was a drone, how excited i felt at the prospect of reading it and formulating ways to sell it at the homes in my area.. i thought, finally a book to explain the last book in the bible and indeed one that the churches seemed to want to leave alone!.
i sold quite a few probably because of my enthusiasm and can still remember clearly the first day when i went knocking on doors with it ,and it's been decades since.. but over time it lost it's shine and my mind started to question the explanations in it due to the scene of other things being changed in the jw beliefs.. do you remember they flogged that book so many times in the book studies even when it was found to have "newer light " eclipsing it!.
who else remembers the printed pages with the official corrections to insert into the book ,so many that the book collapsed to be of no relevance anymore really.....what an embarrassment!.
I liked the babylon book. At least freddy kept his story straight. BUT it all came true and nothing happened.
That next one was impossible to follow.
Did anyone mention the dust and mud at Cedar Point?
gorby's brother in law came by the porch and told "the conventions are cancelled".
we knew already but responded surprised.
"it will be recorded and showed at stream.
Called a friend. First words were this will be the best one ever.
I am sure there will be rules about dressing up no eating, and certainly no glass of rum

I would rather offer beans to someone than give money to mother. But I do wonder which widows will be overlooked this time? There are professional leeches around. One elder at least couldn't keep a job before this economy hit.
sorry, long post :) i'm considering evidence that at least at some point, the gb/watchtower had bad intentions.
i would like to share the following: *** w74 11/15 p. 703 questions from readers ***do lewd practices on the part of a married person toward that one’s own mate constitute a scriptural basis for the offended mate to get a divorce?there are times when lewd practices within the marriage arrangement would provide a basis for a scriptural divorce.. based on this, some jw chose to divorce.
but then:*** w83 3/15 p. 30 honor godly marriage!
There were lots of divorces some time back, every one the man was aaid to be turned queer i wonder if it was the "unnatural " definition being misapplied

Except half of us have no jobs. I am willing to donate to anything I can see doing good for others. that means I donate to my local hall, and will help in the " equalization" when it comes IF there is not a provision to put the extra in WWW
i really don't understand why states have to bid against each other for essential items such as medical supplies.
when you get into bidding wars, the consumers are the ones who lose.. put 50 people in an auction for a product and the one who wins is the manufacturer, not the ones purchasing.. my wife works for a multi-national corporation.
if she is importing or exporting goods, she doesn't determine what the costs will be; this is already determined through the corporate offices that negotiate worldwide movement of products.
The alternative is a strong government that will dictate who gets what. A no win situation.
There Should have been a real stockpile years ago. Neighbor runs a warehouse and the big hospitals are ordering tons of PPE for " next time". Last big orders were after the sars
