Scott .... some years ago , I used to work with the mills in the SE and remember calling on Gulf Lumber in Mobile , AL . The Maintenance Supervisor was complaining that the lumber from Canada could be put on the boat in Mobile Bay cheaper than he could do it from 15 miles away .... so I understand where you`re coming from . Looks like we are doing everything we can to run jobs out of the country . I was in Eugene , OR some years ago when the spotted owl was declared an endangered species ... and the damn things were living in downtown San Francisco . So much for endangered ! Unfortunately , your misfortune was our gain in the SE as we managed to hold off most of the moonbats . Also , most of our production was soft wood ( Southern Pine ) ... and no spotted owls here .
Again , sorry you and your men have to go through this and pray everything works out for you .
FYI .... here is SC , the overall unemployment is now a little over 9.5% with at least two counties in the 17 to 19% range .
