My personal troll is back. Where have you been? None of those companies whose high quality goods I quoted are unionized, nor are shoemakers and clothing makers highly regulated. You’re just doing your typical political anti-government thing. The facts are that the cost of living, housing, etc… in this country require something better than $10/hour wages to survive. And most consumers will not pay those prices for US made goods. People like myself who use those products for our work see the value in those quality goods, but they aren’t mass market and the US isn’t going to see mass manufacturing of consumer goods again.
