I recently was shopping around to have a product of
mine manufactured. Reality check:

To have it made in China with semi-skilled labor was
$1.60 per hour.

The exact same job here was $21.00 per hour. You do
the 2nd grade math...

The point was made to me if I like being able to afford
the things I own then they have to be made elsewhere.
Period. No US manufacturer can touch that. Most
everything you own was made this way. Tough luck if
it's substandard.


I don't see why the Chinese can't also replace the US engineers and
middle management and save even more money.
