I hope I did not offend by saying "suckered", We seem to have done the same to ourselves. The unions are running the jobs out of town as well as high cost.
If I buy electronics from Asia, I would like to buy them from Japan.
They seem to have a good quality.

I did see a camera online from a company call Hasselblad. I believe they started in Austria or Switzerland.
 There base DSLR is 13,995.
It is very nice.

I would love to buy from the USA or Europe sometimes and not the Stuff from China.
Their stuff seem to be loosing quality.

Love the anti-union sentiment. Do you really think it matters whether you're comparing union or non-union wages when what you're comparing either to is low cost Chinese slave labor?
Hey, at least the wealthy are doing OK.

I thought about the Chinese work force earlier. It must be nice to have a bunch of slaves who think that supporting master/country is the best. I love my country but I would want to draw the line at killing myself over a job. It seems to be a combination of things that is crippling the world.
From camcorders to a rant in one easy thread/post. :)

I guess that's just the price of a new iPhone, dead Foxconn workers.

Yeah, Chinese dormitories look really grim.
Free market economics and totalitarian countries combine to produce some horrific situations.
