[NSRCA-discussion] JR Stuff, Where made?

[Dean Pappas]

So Ed ...
So six months ago, the VP of Engineering's wife (who is now downsized/offshored) went in to work extra early to attend the great big company-wide video conference. The crazy hour was so that the outsourced group in India could attend, at the end of their work day. The Indian workers wanted to know what the company's long-range outsourcing plans were, 'cause they (astutely) figured that it was just a matter of time before their jobs were shipped to China or Malaysia, or whatever the next "cheap" labor pool will be!

Competition is not supposed to be a race to the bottom! Oh well.

I hope all my buddies reading this are reasonably secure in your jobs.

Welcome to the world of "how cheap it can be made" syndrome. I bought my 
son's LCD 23" TV's for Xmas, made overseas. Both went back to Wally World 
yesterday as both are defective. Of course Wally World didn't have any to 
replace them, so I got a refund. No matter where I went, nobody had 2 of any 
one model so I had to purchase 1 LCD TV and order the 2nd from Circuit City. 
The new TV's I bought are a different brand than the originals I bought and, 
of course they are made overseas. Anyone that thinks we are getting superior 
products at a better quality in this new world order is sadly mistaken. It's 
all about the $$$, if it's cheaper it must be a better deal.
I'll keep my made in Japan Futaba equipment and continue to buy GM cars and 
Harley motorcycles as long as I can, until this current business mindset 
runs every decent business into the ground.
Those pictures you see on CNN of the "3rd world countries", get used to them 
as they very well could become your children's neighborhoods.
