The Guatamaleans were asking were the nice orange man was. Seriously. Mexicans too!I wonder why they would come here. Most of our cities are more dangerous than their country now.

"she strikes me as a petty chiseler, a petty pilferer, a petty grifter
but that's not the idea I want to convey
she has developed coping strategies to hide her incompetence
she talks fast, so fast her bull goes right past people and doesn't give the brain enough time to analyze her paucity of thought and care
people's critical thinking skills don't react until sometime later, and then its only the non partisan who takes the time to analyze her bull, so only about half the country finally realizes her complete non responsiveness to questions or events
she is a creative excuser and is able to turn the focus elsewhere
she is an avoider of truth and sets up straw men to attack
she, at the same time, is over confident, not in her fundamental job abilities but in her success at turning the focus elsewhere which gives her the reliance she can do it again and again
she will not assume responsibility for her incompetence" Originally Posted by reddog1951

If you or your kid are willing to get on my roof in July and WORK 12 hours for $20 or so per hour come on. Or pick lettuce...
Sorry dude, but the "Americans" have become a bunch of lazy asses who over value our worth. We need the cheap labor if we are to ever challenge productivity in China and India. Originally Posted by reddog1951

They all got along great and did really good job. They worked 12 hours the first day and came back the next day and worked six and finished up. An American crew would still be up there.

I am not condoning it but I can understand why besides the fact they work cheaper.

I was on the greens committee at the time. It was a big endeavor. New tees, new bunkers, new drainage, reshaping fairways and two new green complexes. There was a lot of hand digging. There was two vans of Mexican laborers. It started in June when it’s close to 90 here with high humidity. The Mexican crew was tireless. Worked long days. They finished on time and budget. I was out there almost everyday observing them. I was pretty impressed. On the other hand, I replaced my roof about six years ago. I have a ranch house which have large roofs. I hired a local contractor who used local workers. It was done in two days as well. I had no complaints with the quality of their work.
