Mexico didn't work out, I guess.

They need a workforce will to, you know, work.

I know you say crap to see if you can get a rise out of us, so I usually
ignore you, but damn that's offensive to everyone.

It's offensive because it patently lies about Mexicans and people of
Mexican ancestry, and it's offensive because it implies the rest of us
are stupid enough to accept your lying misinformation.

I'm going back to ignoring you and your ilk.

It is interesting that you flamed RichA but gave Uncarollo a pass.
Would you care to explain?

Because Rich's comment was offensive, and Uncarollo's was not.

Apparently Mexico _didn't_ work out as a way to keep costs down. That
has nothing to do with the Mexican work ethic.

Sure it does. Wages are 1/3 the U.S. or less and the only thing left
is productivity.

There was no mention of the factory in Mexico in either of the two
links posted. Presumably, the plant is still in operation and if so,
will perhaps remain in operation after the merger. It undoubtedly cut
labor costs, which actually tend to be lower in Mexico than in China.

I interpret Uncarollo's message to be every bit as offensive as
RichA's. Perhaps your reading comprehension is too poor for you to
see Uncarollo's statement as a gratuitous slap at something (Meade
plant in Mexico) of which he apparently disapproves.
