    Last year, I read an article in a trade Magazine about a company in Florida that made phone accessories in China.

    After three years of bad quality, and delays, they brought the manufacturing back to the States. The article mentioned more and more companies learning these
    same lessons.

    I get reps coming to our company all the time saying, "I can get this (circuit board, wiring harness, etc.) made in China a lot cheaper!"

    I politely tell them to go to hell!

    I would have stopped being polite a long time ago.

    I've bashed Google before for being so cozy with the government with the data it collects, but I gotta give credit where it is due. I never thought I'd see the day where a consumer electronics product was made in the USA.
