I have to say, what absolutely blows my mind is how some Americans still make a huge deal out of where things are made.
This is 2013. The days of having all your items "Made in the U.S.A" is over, and for good reason. American workers want high wages, large benefit plans, and sweet retirement packages. Who's to blame them? The problem is, those exact same people expect low prices when they go to purchase anything.
How do you expect consumer goods to be cheap, when your paying individual workers $80,000 a year just to operate an assembly line? That tractor you paid $15,000 for that has parts on it from all over the world, would be a $22,000 tractor if all of its components were made in the U.S.A.
Quality on overseas products is determined by the company producing them, not by the workers. The workers are only building items the way they were told to, using methods and materials that are provided by a company concerned with nothing but final profit.
I'm not insulting Americans, but I have seen this go on for years and years. Get over it, this is an international world with international goods and products. Some of the overseas products I have seen in my lifetime are superior to previously made in the U.S.A versions anyways.
