Bo, Once again we are in complete agreement. We are indeed the most productive workforce in the world. Thats why the "jobs lag" in the most recent economic recovery. Companies found out that when they went through the initial lay off period that production increased, and they arent so willing to give that up. Of course more and more automation contributes to that figure. Still, we are very productive as a nation, and continuously reap the benefits of that productivity. That creates (unjustified) jealousy and envy in other parts of the world where socialism runs rampant. Socialism puts less demand on individual achievement, and productivity, Manufactured goods can sit in WIP for unaccountable time and rust even tho there is a backlog in orders because the workers work their 8 and the gate, and no more, because there is no reason to get orders out the door. Work is for work sake and nothing more. Agriculture fares even worse because it doesnt matter if "its going to rain tomorrow so we better get crops out today". Everyone just goes home after 8 hours regardless. Crops dont get planted and crops dont get harvested for the same reason. Then they wonder why America has this and that and can't figure out why they don't. In America, the workers have a much larger stake in the profitability in the place they work, therefore, they are more eager to do whatever it takes to meet production requirements and deadlines. We are indeed wonderfully unique.

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
