Reply #4: Do we have an alternative?

[Warpy]

You're blaming US when it's corporate management's lust for cheap labor to fatten their bottom line.

Now we have cheap, sleazy stuff that breaks down or wears out in record time because top management felt they were due mulitimillion dollar paychecks.

I think most of us out here in Consumerland realize that this is false economy, that we'd rather pay more for something that would work as advertised and last as long as it's supposed to, from clothing to refrigerators.

Try to buy anything that's still made in the US, or even in this hemisphere. Try to find anything that's still first quality instead of something that would have failed QC in any US factory.

Face it, we were robbed of our jobs and now were being robbed again by manufacturers shipping shoddy goods. We had nothing to say about it.
