I agree completely. I do wonder how the things got into the stores.
Somehow, I don't think the counterfeiters were selling them out of the
trunks of their cars.

The greed may well have been at a much higher level, such as store
purchasing management. It's hard to move so many pieces of merchandise
without a proper sales venue.

Yeah...Ask BMW, Daimler-Benz, Hyundai, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mazda,
and Mitsubishi.

Not quite right, DP. The products you mention above are mostly ASSEMBLED
in America. Typically, the higher tech, higher 'cost of assembly' items
(engines, trannies) are made in their home country.

Oh, don't forget that the profit from your items above flow right to
Germany, Korea and Japan, not here. They only built a few plants here
because they had to -- for political reasons, a sop* to the gullible.

* From the Merriam-Webster dictionary:

sop: a conciliatory or propitiatory bribe, gift, or gesture

So, the billions spent by Hyundai, alone, to build in
Tennessee...that's just a bribe. The millions in payroll...that's just a
bribe?

Nonsense.

The Asian manufacturers currently enjoy a moratorium on taxes, and
the wages and benefits parity that Union contracts seek, so building in
this country is just good, cost effective business.

They build here because it's less costly to build here.

In the case of the Germans, because they can actually build for far
less than they can in their own country. And without as many rules and
restrictions on employment. Again, less cost. Consistent quality.

As for the parts source...imported parts for products built on
American soil is nothing new. Ford, GM, Chrysler have been importing
components for decades. And they're not alone. There are more Japanese
parts on a Harley-Davidson than there are on a GoldWing. There are
models of Honda automobiles that have never been built anywhere but
Ohio, and exported back to Japan for sale.

And don't be so quick to assume that all components come from
oversees. Hyundai does a huge amount of the machine work for it's
products in the US. So does Honda. Even Toyota outsources much of it's
component stock from the US.

Isuzu even has one of it's vehicles built by GM.

But if you're considering parts source....GT microphones are
assembled at a GT built and owned plant in China. The capsules and
components are however, hand made by GT right here in the US.


But the topic was "Made in the USA." And these companies DO build in
the USA.

"Made In The USA" is far from extinction.

Actually, the domestic production is a result of import quotas, no?
