Made in China

[spartannation]

And another thing. The fact is, because one company went to china, all the others had to follow suit because otherwise they could not stay in business and compete. So having said that, give our companies time to get out of china. I'm sure they don't like their stuff being made there either. Like I said that, it's just because they had to go there to compete like everyone else. It's the guberment that shoulda made it harder to be profitable by going there. Shoulda been a polution tarriff or something like that. Did I say that, dang, I love capitalism. OK, stop the politics slab, otherwise G gonna move this thread....doh

Be careful boss. You don't want to be in time out.

The move out of the U. S. war largely to expand profit margin . There are things to entice folks to stay /comeback , but our hourly pay scale for job done is crazy compared to what China pays . I remember my dad saying what will bring this country down is every parent wanting their kids to have it better than them . We are to the point kids have no desire to work . You ask seniors in high school the #1 reason to go to college ? They will tell you so they do not have to work Hard . "Education should prepare you to work, not keep you from it" .

USA companies moved production to China, the retail price in the USA stayed the same. The CEO's got a big raise and the employees got canned.

Pharmaceuticals would be a prime example. They charge a very high premium for medications that they import for dirt cheap. With robotics and industrial automation what it is today all but the most complex movements can be done by a robot saving cost in manufacturing and producing an affordable domestic product

I would want all pharmaceuticals back in the USA before fishing equipment, just sayin.........wish it could all be in the USA.

Good thread !
Slab - would it pay to start a sticky, for American made tackle companies?

In my opinion pharmaceuticals are an absolute must to be brought back.

Anyone who buys any food product made in china is truly nuts. They have no standards refuse to allow our ag inspectors in their filthy plants. Walmart was huge driving force to lower costs and encouraging mfg to move to china, which would have old sam rolling in his grave but new mgt did.

best thing about this insanity is folks shocked into realizing how bad having too much of our mfg is in china. will be willing to pay more for that made in usa sticker.

With transportation cost, tariffs and taxes on imported goods the price shouldn't be that much more to produce in the United States
