Replying to: lemko (Jul 03, 2008 5:58 am) I was visiting with the Mexican fellow that helps keep my place weeded yesterday. His wife does not have a work visa or green card and cannot come to the US and work. She works in a factory in Tijuana that makes printed circuits for Sony. She makes less than $20 per day. She does have health care insurance and the reason she keeps her job there. Almost every Japanese Company has factories in Tijuana. They are taking advantage of NAFTA. Make the product, stick it in a Mexican truck with a low paid Mexican driver and deliver it anywhere in the USA. Eventually it will even out. I think the US worker will have to go down further than the Mexican worker will come up. No candidate is addressing this issue with any strong rhetoric. |

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Jun 30, 2008 7:54 pm) Hope all is going well iluv ??? I haven't sold cars since the end of May. I'm selling AT&T's U-verse products through a contractor thus I'm a1099 employee. U-verse, is based on AT&T's "fiber optic" network. I'm making a little more money than I was in the car business and working a lot less hours. The banks drove me out of the car business because they wouldn't approve people for loans and some of those people that had border line credit had medical collections and the banks wouldn't look at the whole picture thus instead of Rocky, selling 15-20 cars a month the most I sold was 7 (2x) February & April. The U-verse product is the cutting edge & latest and greatest TV Programming, Internet, Home Phone, on the market today. I do not see myself doing this full-time for much longer but perhaps I may continue to do it part-time for some extra cash. I need to keep plugging away and find areal job with benefits but until we get new leadership in Washington, that will fix our "trade issues" I'm afraid this recession will continue !!! I'm sorry I don't get on edmunds as often as I should but to be quite honest all the UNION bashing and Anti-GM rhetoric has gotten old and I'm not going to waste time fighting my friends on the other side of the aisle.  "The Rock" P.S. Gagrice, Pantex is going to lay-off 100 Security Police Officer's !!! |

Replying to: rockylee (Jul 04, 2008 7:43 pm) Um, Rocky, I could be wrong, but I believe AT&T's product is a Fiber to the node, which carries the signal over the traditional copper wires to the customer's house. Our Verizon Fios carries a fiber optic signal right to the customers house, therefore it is superior.

Replying to: cooterbfd (Jul 05, 2008 3:43 am) But Verizon is only putting it on the coasts. They are using their incomes from the flyover states to subsidize giving a good service product to certain areas. ATT is putting Uverse in this area in adjoining ATT phone service country and hopefully into adjacent communities. This will give the monopoly Timeless Warner a run more than DirectDish has.
