My real issue with overseas manufacturing with American companies is worker conditions (for the most part)

Unless you live under a boulder you have read about the Apple factories in China.

not gonna lie, im not crazy about my job, but i do feel a sense of pride going to work everyday and making parts for either Pratt & Whitney in East Hartford or Middletown or Sikorsky down the Merit Pkwy a bit...

both my grandparents worked for american companies (GM assembly line tech and Pittsburgh steel mill foreman) and it makes me proud to be in the same line of work as them...

pity that the bottom line is all that matters to all these sh!tty corporations anymore...

on a semi-related note, a few of my friends and i took a trip to Detroit the summer after my senior year to go see the Packard factory as well as a few other abandoned auto buildings and it just made me really sad...

When I think of part from China being put in American made cars it makes you think of this mess.
Please Ford dont do this to the Mustang THE LEGEND !!!

(rant on) Keep the Americans working and stop out sourcing our job over seas..( rant off)
