This blog is a piece of crap. What foundry? What business model?

How do you know that? Foundry is an art and this foundry must be casting speciality material with a proprietary process.

I really decry this American bashing. It appears that anything American is crap. USA has contributed more to the world,s technology than all the countries put together in history.

In the early Eighties, General Motors was bigger than ten top British, ten top French and ten top German companies put together. Now you call it crap.

Look around you and you will see 3M, DuPont, GE, Boeing, General Dynamics, Northrop (I do not what it is called today), Pratt and Whitney, Bell laboratories, Hughes aircraft and tool, and I can go on.

If America is crap it is you who are crap. You do not know what you have got. It is and will remain the greatest country that shaped the world and it will bounce back shrugging the temporary setback a bunch of shysters caused.

I design Gear drives for great a American company and there is no let up on orders. I worked through Christmas and New Year to meet schedules and the pace is the same. There are people out there doing great work and not whining all over the place. Pull up your socks man.

Whoa, slow down there partner. There was no American bashing whatsoever in my response.

The blog itself, lacking any links to what it's talking about, is the crap I'm speaking of. What foundry are they referring to? It's not mentioned? And how can we say whether or not the business model makes sense, when its not presented? Saying they are "filling niche markets" is not a revolutionary, discussable "business plan". It's something many companies already do. There's no meat to discuss here. The writer is just lamely filling space.

Without links providing any explanation, it (the original entry) is a stupid post.
