[PRCo] Re: I was in USA!

[Boris Cefer]

My experience says that no supervision is absolute. In addition, all people
like to make their job easier; some more, some less. Some even don't care
about results of their job. They don't care if something is done precisely
and thoroughly, or it is botched. I think that workmanship almost
disappeared from this world and only hobbyists dispose it. All is only job.

I failed to understand Economics 101. OK. But I expected that working morals
has to be better in the USA than here because you seem to have better
economical results as a whole country.
I was again wrong. At shops in Philadelphia I didn't see many people
working, they were mostly sitting and talking about what they will do after
the shift ends in hour.

> Your opinion is wrong.  They [Adtranz] did what they were told to do,
under supervision from PTM.  I did not use the world asbestos ... you did.
But that was the issue.  Asbestos presents legal issues and its presence
causes the workers to follow legal and very expensive requirements for its
removal,, regardless of your opinion.   We are dealing with United States
and New York State and Pennsylvania health and safety laws.
> To make profits as high as possible is correct as far as you have taken it
... more correct would be to say to make any profit at all.  The money
simply wasn't there to make cars look nice.  The city made every effort
possible to control Pittsburgh Railways' income and in the 1960s to make
them loose money so that the county could condemn the private company at a
lower cost.   I think you fail to understand Economics 101 as it applies to
business in a free world economy.
