3. I used to work in computer manufacturing. I was
A Quality control/assurance supervisor. I actually worked for Seagate building hard drives at one point. In those days and the ones before that, MADE IN AMERICA meant something! You got top notch products worthy of every penny of your money.

We bought a new mini van a few years ago. It immediately began to fall apart (body wise). Fuses blew, headliners failed, screws fell out of seats and seals etc. The motor is fine, we keep it that way, but the body is about to fall away from the chassis. LOL

I wonder if offshoring and outsourceing is also the culprit in today's defective merch. I've purchased many things in recent years that are just abominable in terms of quality and worth.

I think the whole issue of poor quality products in this country is embarrassing and a certain slap in the face to we US workers and consumers.
