Naw I know what you mean but US versus Japan and their Honda gensets and what have we got to show for it? China is a junk store but an affordable junk store. Japanese workers take home pay is substantially higher than a a USA workers and we're "stucked" with Generac and Briggs & Stratton? We've got unbeatable Caterpillar, Concorde Lifeline, and Premier Supertanium bolts ans nuts, but the list of excellence is damned short and growing shorter. Germany makes better screwdrivers than Snap-Off for less money. Their workers are paid higher wages.
USA industry is Poohing The Scrootch and it's sad. A stupid Hubbell 15-amp makeup plug for fifteen dollars? Gimme a break. Check out the prices on Fastenall, Thomas & Betts, et. all and get nauseated. Without sales to the federal government these idiots would go under.
But then gain there is a company marketing a gold plated version of an eighteen dollar nylon 120vac receptacle with the claim ABSOLUTELY THE LAST WORD IN AUDIO REPRODUCTION FAITHFULNESS. You're supposed to plug-in your ninety dollar gold plated power plug there.
You cannot fix "stupid..."
HOWEVER HOWEVER HOWEVER
Thanks for the tip on the magnetic fan. I'm going to buy some!
