WOW ! enough of the "Asia doesn't have the metalurgy or technology to produce a good product theories" THEY DO !! The problems lay in the interpratations of the standards between American and the rest of the world.
I have seen this first hand ! As my job was research and development ,I saw first hand what happens , give them the correct information and they can AND WILL do the correct job !!
Why doesn't Novarossi move ? YEAH OK ...... Their Italian ! .....
Europeans seem t ostill have plenty of pride in their work ,unlike Americans ,
(generalization coming up ) who want more pay and less work ,with the attitude " I don't care it's not mine" . AMERICANS GET OFF YOUR LAZY ASSES AND GET SOME PRIDE !! IF we could just go to work tommorow with this in mind and do the best job you are capable of and do it with PRIDE then I think America could move back to the status we once had . But right now...
We are all in sad shape , myself included, except I have PRIDE !
Sorry for the rant , I am sure Novarossi will get this issue straightened out soon enough , I sure they have plenty of feedback !!
