(2,397 posts)Haven't we tried that before? And one other thing on products claiming to be made here--especially textiles.
I briefly worked in Saipan back in 2001--which is in Pacific near Guam. I went with someone to hotel directly across street from Tommy Hilfinger/Gap sweatshop. They can claim its made in U.S. because its a "U.S. territory." They still pay crappy wages to underage girls. Its the same island that Abemorff--however its spelled-- and Tom Delay were doing all that lobby stuff. If you don't believe me, take a trip to Saipan and book room at "Pacific Island Club".
My point is that if there is any pressure to "a corporation" to stop producing electronics in China, then it has to be a movement. It would be nice if we could produce computers and phones. But I feel electronics are gone. But I've been wrong before. Thats how I see it.
