I don't have any certificates certifying me to work on them, but I have worked on quite a few different types and brands of cranes for over 15 years, so I think I am pretty well qualified. That said, your right in the older cranes being so much better than the new ones in so many ways. Granted the new ones have all the fancy electronics, etc, but I dare any idiotic politician to show me a real reduction in accidents, etc brought about by all the fancy electronics and schooling, over the old guys that could lift anything 'by the seat of their pants'. They all used the most powerful computer in the world, the human brain, and did it well for ALOT of years.
That said seeing idiots setting on their fat butts behind a desk making/proposing rules about things they know nothing about makes me sick. The way I see it though 'WE THE PEOPLE' really do control those idiots so, whether anyone believes it or not. I say that because there will be plenty of work available to any crane operator/owner/contractor, big or small outside NYC. That being the case IF such a rule were to pass, all it would take is for those in the industry to refuse to work in the city to get the whole deal thrown out. Seriously, if no one would work there, then nothing would get done, by anyone. Think about what would happen then, you'd have other several unions get involved because their members have little to no work, you'd have the corporations with the money to build not wanting to deal with the hassle, and on, and on. The repercussions would be HUGE, and I don't know of a politician out there, even Bloomberg, who could handle it. Remember even with all his billions he has yet to bowl over us legal gun owners, like he thought he would....and if you put the full weigh and opinion of all those mentioned previously into defeating a cause, then it won't stand a chance.....The problem is getting enough folks on board and willing to lose a million or two in order to save themselves millions more.....unfortunately there will always be one in the bunch that can't get their mind off the first million and ruin it for everyone.......

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
