Comment 99% foreign made 100% American made (Score 1) 518

The corpratists have made sure the laws were changed so they could slap Made in America on it regardless of what is in it.

We manufacture stuff that is wholly done in China. Not all of the parts were made in China but none of them were made in the US.

All that is needed is some 'expert handwavium' such as a precision finishing touch or calibration, etc.

And as added bonus they can also slap "Union Made" on it.

ADP forces the use of an ancient and bug infested version of java for it's timecard application. We've been infected SO MANY times they finally decided to setup a dedicated PC that has no other access.

This of course removes all the benefit of having web acdess to time card entry, eats up time employees could be working but the gossip and knife fights are good entertainment.
