I noticed you signed up today and I, too, am a newcomer.
Many Americans have awakened to the fact that manufacturing has moved outside the USA and inside China. Customer service for GE, IBM, American Express, etc. etc. has moved to Bangalore, India! GE service schedulers are located in Bangalore. Of this, of course, many Americans are unaware.

Maybe because Americans have had it good for so long they just can't see what is happening.
