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. |
