When WalMart takes lowest bid for coffee makers, the US manufacturing does not have a chance.
The forces of the markets are holding a gun to the heads of some of these companies.
Without getting into too much detail, about 10 years ago I worked with a business that had to close down a US operation and move to China. They simply could not manufacture and sell in a globally competitive market... for every US based engineer, they could hire 6 in China. Skilled labor... take off 80% of the cost. We looked at every angle and in the end, for the business to be sustainable it had to move.
In this case, the down stream customers had also moved, so going to China had a cost advantage and a service advantage.
I am not saying that I like it but (as Chris Rock would say) I do understand.
Be Safe!
