[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 3845708, member: 25419"] Dude, you're talking to a corporate whore. I know how it works, and American companies are producing products overseas with cheap labor, then bringing it back in, or taking a circuitous route to reach the customer, avoiding taxes, high labor, environmental concerns. I currently have to go through a Mexican branch daily, to conduct business here in Tulsa. You reckon they route us through Mexico because of the higher standards and precision? It makes us less efficient, but the lower cost is apparently worth it. It's a racket, and I've watched in unfold for the last thirty or so years. Company owners with any kind of loyalty to America or their employees are extremely rare. Buchanan coined a phrase years ago - "economic patriotism". He lamented it was going away. Well, now it's gone. I hate the lousy service, I absolutely hate crappy food. But you do get what you pay for. Some companies used to be proud of their name and reputation , that has gone as well.
