RonB states:

Fortunately some locals
like Grizzly have managed to salvage state-side employment by offering
limited engineering, finishing and direct distribution from US locations.

Say what? Grizzly is an IMPORTER and distributor. Almost any company doing
business from here with China and Taiwan does engineering in the U.S. Finishing
is almost never done in the U.S. And how the hell else would any company
distribute in this country except directly?

Grizzly supplies some U.S. jobs at their offices and warehouses, and I'm sure
has a good engineering department. So do numerous other importers, so that is
no distinction whatsoever.
