I very much enjoy reading and posting at CR4. The good discussion with other technically minded people in the US and from other countries is good for the mind and it makes me feel like part of a large technical family.
There is something that has at times has made me pause before giving an answer. The US is continuing to close down production facilities. This is often for the reason of business searching for cheaper labor or a company goes out of business because they can no longer compete in a global market of lower manufacturing costs.
This became more evident to me when I read a certain question today from a certain plant in a country other than mine. It is known for very low wages and its' capital city is one of the most polluted in the world. I have personal knowledge that this large corporation is shifting the production between their plants right now. This company makes similar durable goods at a facility that is 40 miles from my house in Ohio. This Ohio plant is still profitable and I have friends that have been layed off from it.
In no way do I want to encourage any kind of prejudice. I am just looking for others reasonable views on this.
