Subj : How far I've come... To : TED LONG From : Cougar428 Date : Mon Jan 30 2023 03:42 pm > -=> Quoting Ogg to Mro <=- TL> Because American workers won't work 12 hour days for chump change and TL> a bowl of ramen noodles, or stand still for constant government TL> surveillance. And American consumers are as much to blame....they'll TL> pay 2 grand for an Apple iPhone thats designed in Cupertino, and TL> assembled in Flungdung by a girl who's supporting herself and her aged TL> parents on 3 bucks an hour. How I wish we COULD "Buy American". TL> (sighhhh..) Now that we've gotten that out of the way, can you tell me what you really think? (just kidding!) I worked at a plastics plant where we made all the parts in the factory. So I know there are products made in america. I just wonder why business people don't see the promise of building chips for cars in the US since we can't get them from China. (granted, this is just an example, I don't know if those chips actually do come from China). If more US companies started building the items we are short of, they could take advantage of opportunity.
