I ain't buying what you are selling. My own brain and manufacturing experience will not allow it. I faced just a little bit of this outsourcing and offshoring in the last couple years before I sold my own biz and retired. Hell, I refused to buy cheap materials from slave labor places. It is a decision, you know? I well recall the song and dance that Clinton rolled out in regards to the offshoring. I see the closed down factories here that used to employ thousands of my neihbors. WHAT? One day those factories could not make and sell what they were making and selling for years and years? Bullshit. I know it, and you should damn well know it. I think you have drank too much of the corpoate kool aid, while I refuse to.
