    interesting, I'm watching a Discovery channel show about China.. how our jobs are going over there (specifically Briggs & Stratton (sell outs))... however, seems that their little (big?) communist utopia (as the libtards would have you believe) is NOT working, but what is, is Capitolism.. imagine that!



    eta: walmart and apple are a couple of big exploiters of chinas cheapness.. for example, they said for a ~$90+ apple product, apple keeps $80+ dollars

    Well, considering the last "American Made" radio I had was the one I built in 10th grade.. Not like this happened overnight...

    (I did get an "A" on it also... )

    Seems like you guys are surprised.... 95% of stuff we own are made in China and the rest 5% made in Indonesia or Philippine..... it's been like this for a long time...

    Hey, I made a crystal radio in the 10th grade. I'll bet most folks here have never even heard of such a thing. I don't recall the grade I received.
