Re: Made in India vette (96Silver_Conv)
Scary thing is it is goign to be coming down crashing on the US, when people won't be able to afford to buy a loaf of break like in the easter block countries years ago.. I hope not, but since all the larger companies are moving production to india/mexico/china, quality of parts is going down the toilet, and more and more us workers are out of money.
This will mak ethem spend less, default on loans and credit card debt will go through the roof. Credit card companies will go bankrupt left and right as people can't cover their spending. Banks and underwriters will go out of business and people will literally LOSE their money in banks too..
Very scary scenario.. Hopefully something... anything will happen to change it, otherwise it might be time to move to Europe.. :conehead

Re: Made in India vette (AGENT 86)
Last week my Ford broke down.
A factory Ford "made in Hong Kong" TFI ignition module was the culprit.
I replaced it with a "made in China" TFI ignition module.
Now my Ford runs.
Thank you China! :D :thumbs:

Re: Made in India vette (HiRiser)
its not corp greed but corp survival.
us corps ship mfr overseas because they are forced to compete with imports and foreign companies that use imported parts made where labor is very cheap. or they must compete with the transplant foreign companies that use nonunion labor.
thank the politicians for selling the voters on the shi__y trade agreements. they sold out the mfr base with the idea that we are a service economy and the mfr was best to go overseas.
well now the service jobs, programing, insurance, cust service are being sourced in india, korea, etc.
people need to be vocal about buying us made parts and products. they may cost a little more but if it saves the country from being overwhelmed with unemployment it will be money well spent.

F*CKING FREE TRADE
I recall back in the early 90's when Perot was running for pres. He talked big about the giant sucking sound that NAFTA would make with all the jobs going to Mexico.
Funny thing was that his company - EDS - just got awarded an outsourcing contract from the company I work for. EDS layed off hundreds of the outsourced people - and sent the work to India.
IBM and Microsoft are now the biggest employer in India.
All the politicians are B*LL CR*P LIARS!!!! BUNCH OF F*CKIN' C*CK S*CKERS.
And don't even get me started on how these thieves legally stole my pension.

Re: Made in India vette (Lichen)
Would have to agree. There are a ton of computer related jobs at my work that are getting shipped to India. It is suppost to be for cost savings but with the time diffrence and how fast they need things done I don't see how it is going to be effective. Something that may take me 30 min and 2 trips from the engineer to do would take 2 days when shipped overseas bare minimum.
