Trump would probably do the same thing. They are just making decisions that at the end of the day, we the public have made them chose because our what we demand. We demand the cheapest of products, we live out of sight out of mind, and we are innately selfish when push comes to shove. We have to take ownership as citizens that what we demand individually is what companies are going to try to give us. If we only care about price, then companies are only going to care about price. The ironic thing is that we as citizens have been so focused on ourselves and our demand for low prices so we can have more that companies are willing to leave the country just so we can have more for less. Our values and a society has to change before any company like this changes. They are just responding to what the people want.

Have an upvoat. Came here to say the same thing. As a representative for an OE I completely understand pricing between quality and "just give me the cheapest part". If all you want is price then don't be surprised about the consequences.

I doubt that's the only reason even if prices were high and we were fine with that wages would have to follow suit for the product to be consumed.
