PS: I have NEVER heard any say this: "Oh boy, I just found out < insert product here > was made in China!! I'll bet the quality is outstanding!"

Today "made in the USA" is a sign of quality....

Lol, I can’t still remember when “made in Japan” was looked down on! Now, Japanese bearings, knives, cars, and other products are the apex of quality. Many U.S. made products are of high quality. Some not so much. Most of the components used to make our appliances here are procured overseas. Small manufactures here, especially family-owned, carry most of the load when it comes to maintaining our reputation for quality.
More worrisome, is our disappearing skill sets, and work ethic, across the entire nation among young workers.
