Lol. Whatever. Fun fact: One of the 747's wing spars support the landing gear and are made from 4140 steel IIRC, it's been awhile.
Oooh, authority argument
Chinese state of the art foundry? (I could watch this over and over.)
That was amazing!
See also: energy costs, transportation costs (remember, Austria doesn't have ocean ports), taxes (notoriously high in Europe), and that "~2½ times their annual wage" was an American number; it's going to be considerably higher in Europe (again with the taxes)...."needs all of 14 employees to make 500,000 tons of steel wire a year. The same mill in the 1960s would have needed as many as 1,000 workers to produce a similar amount albeit of lesser quality."
Using this example, there's no way paying 1000 employees even at cheap Chinese wage levels will be cheaper. You have to remember that a lot of the Chinese companies house and feed their workers too. That math is never going to add up, oh wait....They use that common core math now.
This should be carved in stone somewhere.
Harley was dead in the 80s, Reagan put a import tax on motorcycles over 800cc so they could compete. That's why you see Honda making 750cc cruiser bikes. Harley is JUNK. Outdated, overpriced, and protected to stay in business. I agree with tRidoit, we employ cheap labor, buy from countries where the people are poor, and want there products for nothing.
Yes, let them go!Are you saying they're the Chrysler of the motorcycle world?
I purchase for the government, we use to get steel, aluminum, and stainless steel quotes that were good for 30 days, now its
