  • Listen, Im over here wearing my floaties, watching sales people doing a triple gainer off the high-dive. I’m not trying to pretend to be especially good with the social skills. All I’m saying is water is wet. Some people have an affinity to those sorts of skills, some don’t. Some people work at it. Some can’t. Everyone has to at least bathe though. That’s a metaphor, but also not.

    Why do you need to be forced by society to develop social skills?

    Social skills is another way of saying the abilities required to function in a society. You might as well ask why do you need to learn to swim to get in the pool.

    Why isn’t putting your best forward enough?

    Often it is, but to stretch the metaphor used above, they are going to be stuck in the shallow end.

















  • Higher quality? Not likely. Actually available Id give you. We don’t have the equipment to make a lot of the stuff china can make. If we can make it, its probably on newer machines with better tolerances. This is a sweeping generality of course but so is the contrary claim.

    Ive been to manufacturing sites in china, Ive outsourced sub-assemblies. They have a lot of capabilities. The US still (for now) has more sophistication/infrastructure. Given proper controls, Chinese manufacturers can match our quality for cheaper, it is a lot of work though.
