re: #51 theheat

The pro-American sector usually screams “it’s just cheap imported crap” but the fact is it’s often as good, depending on the item. I’ve watched the quality of several agri-based imported items make a complete turnaround in as little as a year’s time. If consumers demanded more quality, the overseas manufacturers delivered, and still kept the costs down.

What I always find ironic is people complaining about jobs being outsourced or off-shored and about “cheap imported crap” while on their computers. It’s as if they don’t realize that most of the manufacturing supply chains for American businesses, including tech companies, are overseas.
