Civil war. (sigh ) I wonder, if things will ever get tbat far off the rails. There are some scary groups out there, and the government is pushing all the right buttons, here lately. Localized, brushfire conflict, could be a foregone conclusion.

I wonder if the people losing their jobs over these new laws will agree with you?

I don't think the politicians in those states ever thought that far ahead.

"Place the billet HERE, clamp it in place with THIS, like THIS, close the door, and push THIS button to START. If something breaks, push THIS button to STOP, and call the Supervisor!"
PROGRAMMING the machine takes more skill and knowledge.

I am sure that the cheap Mexican labor to be had here in Texas has nothing to do with the moves.
Illegal Traffic...Lawlessness is not good...now our government pretends they can't fix this problem? Why? They only do what they get paid to do....So who is paying Whom?

If that had been the case they would have moved years ago.
