Very true. I am seeing it first hand my students are lossing there"skilled jobs" to other better processes being performed over seas. the chinese tools that everybody laughed at 5 years ago are getting to be in the league of some the snap-on tools etc. remember they are in there industrial revolution with one advantage that the US did not have in theirs and that is the ability to look at what everyone else has done..
I will keep everyone up to date on how mine work out
