Re: Craigslist And Plumbing
These guys that think they are gonna get rich by taking all the evening and week-end calls for normal hour rates are just fooling themselves.They will soon tire of being the only one working while the rest of us are having dinner with our familys,or the week-end at the lake with friends.
I'm thinking a lot don't have legitimate businesses or licenses either.It's tough to run on week-ends and evenings if you don't have a warehouse with lots of stock,but they don't think of that. Oh well,when they're done I get to fix those things they didn't do properly because they were too tired from working 7 days or working till midnight.

Re: Craigslist And Plumbing
Here, I'll flesh out the details.

Re: Craigslist And Plumbing
Depending on where you are they could be guys that were doing new construction and are now laid off. I know the local I belong to has over a thousand members out of work, and the service shops are getting slow from guys doing side jobs to make a buck.
And it's gonna get worse before it gets better.

Re: Craigslist And Plumbing
Working out of a severe recession when you have almost no industrial base to back it with is very difficult, it's the price you pay for outsourcing all your manufacturing to increase profit margins.

Re: Craigslist And PlumbingQuote:
Agreed. The biggest talk around town here is trying to get the big companies to start bring back all the jobs from over seas. The first step is dumping money into the national constructional and highway infrastructure to stimulate building sector and second step is bring back all the outsourced jobs. I hope both happen and accomplish what we need right now |

Re: Craigslist And Plumbing
I really don't see that happening, unless they re-establish strict and high tarriffs to make it impossible to manufacture things out of country, as well as doing away with NAFTA.

Re: Craigslist And PlumbingQuote:
Sadly I know the second part won't happen but we all got to have our dreams right. I just don't understand how they don't see or care how much this is hurting our country. |

Re: Craigslist And PlumbingQuote:
The next big thing is going to be alternative energy, whether we like it or not, I have already been looking into it, some of the stuff that is being researched is amazing. Researchers at the University of Washington have developed a way to make fuel grade hydrogen out of sewage.
