Why is America so prosperous when . . . ?

[chequita guevara]

We do such half-assed jobs on everything. Everyplace I turn around I see slipshod work, uncaring employees, half assed jobs. We put massive effort into getting stuff done before its ready, rush, rush, rush, then drop the project and run on to something new.

How did we build an empire this way?

Did you have a bad, personal experience today with a service employee in a store or restaurant?

It's something that's been bothering me fo a hile, but I was too tired to post about it.

Because she is selling her future short and practising slash-and-burn economic development.

Go ahead -- tell us how you really feel -- don't keep it holed up inside you.

If you put enough resources into something, it will get done.

ACK!

You see? That's the kind of sloppy workmanship Che is talking about! A mere 20 word post and 5% of the words are misspelled.

America used to be pretty good.
But then its populace become uberignorant, uberarrogant, and such....But we've gotten into the business of importing everything (even our educated populace is imported) and thus, we prosper.

It didn't seem that way when I was there.

I shouldn't talk. I should be working right now. But I'm posting...

Well, if you've got 300 million Americans doing a half assed job and 80 million Germans doing a full job, then you've actually got 150 million American full jobs compared to 80 million German full jobs. You still win.

In conclusion, you only do half the effort but have twice the people doing it.

[JohnT]

Or their Germans are better than our Germans.

Not much serious competition. That's why we're so sloppy.
