Sad, but true. Even more tragically, many of the consumer goods made
in the US are total crap, too. In fact, I've purchased some Chinese
made things that were not only cheaper (4X!) than US made equivalents,
but were of better quality. An old girlfriend refused to buy US union
made clothing, preferring better made garments from SEA.
