And so another week opens at the close. This week, the welding crew was able to make some realistic progress and cut some actual angled iron with a specialised miter saw. We learned to cut the pieces with the angle facing up, for ease and efficiency. Also, we aimed not to damage the saw. We cut our pieces, however, we miscalculated the measurements on two pieces and cut two of the wrong sizes. A rather rookie mistake and waste of materials. This cannot be permitted in the future.
In addition to physical work, we were given another "part" challenge by our teacher. As before, it required part replication using certain tools in AutoCAD. This time it was a die stamp. With increased difficulty, this challenged required use of the "Fillet" technique. I failed to properly replicate the part, forgetting to use my "Offset" key, thus making copying the part impossible.
Essential Question: What is the minimum wage debate?
The debate stated above entails a dichotomy between the rich and poor arguing over whether or not to raise the minimum wage ($9.00 in California) to a higher amount. The ones who earn minimum wage assert that low-paid workers need the extra currency to support their families and posterity. The other side claims that doing so would cause inflation and that companies, especially local ones, would not be able to obtain the funds for paying each individual worker and would have to fire some, thus minimizing jobs as a result.
