“I’d be willing to wager that the great decline in quality of products is more related to our own federal government’s over regulation, namely the EPA.”
Nope, its thinner steel, craptastic plastic parts, cheap sourced parts, and built by monkeys and children who have no concept of what they are even building. Pride? lol
Nice try, But wall street really appreciates your efforts.
“its thinner steel” - That is EPA driven. I am very familiar with the steel industry.
“craptastic plastic parts” - Plastic injection molding is a much easier mfg plant to pass the EPA regs than any aluminum, mag or iron caster. Hence, it makes sense that any OEM works to replace metal alloy casted parts with injection molded plastic parts.
“cheap sourced parts” - More likely the cheap sourced parts are cost nuetral after significant price increased due to the above issues.
“monkeys and children who have no concept of what they are even building.” - How does that explain the quality degradation for the whirlpool washing machines assembled in Michigan?
You might like to talk a lot about manufacturing, but it is clear that you don’t know much about it.
Remember when you never wanted to buy an American car made on a Monday or Friday?
I'm happy to have a Nissan and a Subaru in my garage, both made here in the States, but using Japanese management and without one minute of so-called "work" from the UAW couch potatoes.
