I look at a new made in USA Tecumseh engine and weep. Chew & Spit.
I just purchased 2 rotors for a neighbor. Direct from Monterrey. Bendix. On the box "Made in USA". I know the proveedor for Bendix Mexico. The rotors were cast in Monclova, Nuevo Leon, shipped to Monterrey for finishing.
At least Optima battery is honest Made in Mexico.
It's when components are imported and assembled then the finished piece is labelled as originated from the place of assembly is where I have problems.
Maybe I shouldn't be so picky. Wait forever and try and save up to never purchase made in USA gear that I could never afford to begin with.
Don't get me started on the subject of bloodsucking speculators that control essential basic life support commodities... THAT and THAT ONLY is the reason why I cannot afford to purchase more made in USA merchandise.
