The problem besides quality is price. We love spending less.
Years ago I remember 3 American television manufactures (can you name them?)
Why do you think the chinese are doing so well.
They pay horrid labor rates, don't have EPA or OSHA on their ass.
Here the unions have run companies into ruin. I live in a GM town and it used to suck when unskilled monkeys made more than me.
Now I laugh at the unskilled labor that is out of work because they didn't invest for life after GM.
