Why do we always bash the chinese made products but we don't bash the Mexican made as hard? Mexicans have better work ethic?
Yeah but corporations like Pirelli and Termec are still making big bucks and paying the laborers like a dollar an hr imagine.The Mexicans don't hold bank notes equivalent to have the economy of the US like the Chinese do.
Always easier to hate on "Da Man" when you owe him money.
The only people we help when we purchase products no matter where they come from are the owners. Help yourself, save a buck when you can. American production employees probably have poorer or as poor work ethic than the Asians. No one where I work is going the extra mile. The majority are doing the minimum required not to get fired a sometimes below the minimum and hopping not to get caught. Doing just enough to get the product out so they can go home.I would rather be helping our neighbors and allies. If the employees have better jobs and a better home, they will not be crossing the border illegally.
And I still prefer to buy US made products.
I heard something the other day that NAFTA is going to require an even larger % of products to b hecho en Mexico than the current percentage rate. It might help the Mexican workers a little but really it just helps the American company owner who has his crap made in a Mexican factory. Lower wages and less taxes.I have a hard time avoiding Mexican made products since of late most Motorcraft parts are made in Mexico.
I love the emails I get from the Chinese machine shops. The company I work for buys all tooling from China unless it's something we needed yesterday. The substandard steel is a big issue with tooling we order, you don't know what your getting. I will have a material called cpm10v on a print, they want to substitute something else. The carbide is questionable also.From an engineering prospective I hate dealing with China. I've caught chinese machine shops forging inspection docs, and using substandard steel with fake Certs.
I stay US when I can.
