Film production--how different is the quality of work between a seasoned cameraman and an amateur? I am coordinating a film project in collaboration with a top notch production company. I want to save money by hiring a cheap cameraman from a company who makes wedding videos (I'm in China and theres plenty of those kind of cheap local outfits) to do the filming and turning that film over to the production company to do the editing and post production. The alternative is to have that company do the filming as well as the editing and post production. The filming content includes shots of a school and student life at the school as well as individual interviews. I expect some sacrifice in quality by hiring a less qualified local, but I am assuming it will still be good enough to make a good project, especially with professional editing and post production. Is that a fair assumption? Any advice?

Have the ammo manufacturers increased or decreased production? I have asked at several Walmarts and all say that the ammo supplies are now much smaller than in the previous years. At the same time, many sources say that the ammo manufacturers increased production. There is a total contradiction here. Yes, the demand went up and this is a fact. The issue is the current supply relative to previous years? Walmart is the biggest seller of retail ammo in USA. If many Walmart stores see much less supply then the manufacturers have to produce less or lots of ammo are getting lost in the channels.

How can the US expect the economy to grow when production and manufacturing jobs continue to go overseas? The only legitimate way to pay back debt or have a viable economy is to have exports through manufacturing and production to offset the debt and seemingly unlimited consumer spending. If foreign countries were to take away our ability to import or borrow money the economy would collapse tomorrow and there would be an enormous amount of money with an extraordinarily small amount of goods which would create a hyperinflation scenario. The monetary policies we have now of expanding the money supply with 0% interest rates is also very dangerous for inflation down the road. All this stimulus money, hundreds of billions of dollars, in my opinion, should go all around the country into creating new factories and the tools in the factories to create products through mass production. In my view, country has to go back to a sound base of economics, saving its money, exporting products and natural resources to pay back the trillions of dollars of debt, not relying on other countries for their products, raising the interest rates quite a lot and only allowing reasonable loans, and cutting government spending quite a bit. Of course, this would force the country into a recession which everyone seems to want to avoid right now. The US is no longer in the industrial revolution, China and India are and they are doing much better then the US at the moment.
