Don’t forget these big companies have huge investors Wall-street that control these companies and its all about making money and not about the product being a quality product. Throw away garbage.
I disagree we can make it in the United States we have the technology to do it nowadays. Unfortunately the unions of today protect non-productive workers and I feel sorry for the hard workers that deserve the union. It’s a lot different from back in the day when the worker was abused.
Support your home town business is my best advice.

Dave, you are right. Most publicly traded companies are beholden to their share holders and Board of Directors. Most CEO contracts stipulate a requirement of 8-15% growth, year over year, and they don't care how they get it. Banks and insurance companies are the worst offenders. Instead of putting resources into generating 8-15% more revenue, they just raise rates on current customers. But, that's fair, right? I mean, we're all just lucky to have the privelege of doing business with these companies, so we shouldn't have any issues with paying them more money every year.
For a long time, I have been of the opinion that the single worst thing to ever happen in America was the creation of the publicly traded stock exchange. It has created many of the problems we face. But that's for another post.
