    We had plenty of waste at Tektronix but the parts and assemblies that were used were not nearly as dependable as that used by military contractors so those cost less.

    Not to worry, as long as you don't go racially predjudiced on me I can't imagine anything you could say that would change my positive opinion of you.

    Ive been to the Kohler factory village several times. The black sand castings are amazing, but nothing like the Porcelain part of the process.
    An amazing factory town.

    Wifey told me that UCLA hospital, where she used to work is now paying Travel Nurses $5k a week. Big staffing issues I guess.

    They're all at work in the VA hospital in Portland.
    See, anecdotes are just gossip unless backed up by something credible and some credible stats.

    I saw the listing her coworker, who works at UCLA had sent. They even offered the wifey good money to work the week her endoscopy clinic is closed during the holidays, although she doesn't want to since it's a higher stress environment

    It's off by a little under one Million. Each person could get somewhere around $3.16.
