Keukasmallies Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 However, the USA has more Indians answering support line telephones than there are in all of India!
3rdnlng Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 However, the USA has more Indians answering support line telephones than there are in all of India! That's just unfair. With a practiced ear, I can understand 80% of the instructions I'm given from the guy in Pashdun Province. Shouldn't I have to suffer through an equal amount of attempted ebonics to get my cable tv back?
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Speaking of jobs... I was just reading about the world's largest container ship... The Majestic Maersk, 1,312'x194'x48'... And it only takes a crew of 22 to run it. 20 have been ordered to be built. Still the Maersk E & Triple E Class vessels won't be able to fit in the New Panamax locks, 1,400'x180'x60', being built in @ the Panama Canal... Beam is just too wide. 22 crew... Imagine that...

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 But it takes 527 to wipe the ass of every politician in DC. Imagine that. Hey, you are preaching to the choir brutha! Imagine that! But anyway... They are building the locks to 180' wide and these boats are 194'... WTF? Obsolete before they even swing the first gate!
GG Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 How many people do Data General, Digital Equipment, and Wang employ in the US?
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 How many people do Data General, Digital Equipment, and Wang employ in the US? Actually, I knew two that worked for them. Digital & Wang... Both brother and sister-in-law (husband/wife). I think BiL works now for IBM but, it might be a subsidary. ??

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 And do they still work for Digital, DEC & Wang? No. I got your point... Just saying. Those were biggies @ one time! Yet, BiL actually works for something to do with IBM now.
