thats seriously all you got out of that? cause i have to say, given voat's mostly watery Muh Jooz posts, this was actually some interesting anecdotal info
This has concerned me for a long time and it's nice to hear someone else talk about it. I've only experienced this from an electronics point of view but I hear the same from folks I know in other industries. There is a reason why NOS American made vacuum tubes are in such high demand and it's not because this or that sounds better; it's because they were made better. I think most folks are aware of it but can't see the enormity and long lasting impacts of completely outsourcing your parts supply and labor force. Preaching to the choir I suppose, what with the "journalists" and needing to learn to code (please God don't).

I still vividly remember the commercial where a couple was packing their stuff to move and their kid asked why. They said it was because no one buys anything Made In America anymore so his job was sent overseas so he was laid off and they couldn't afford the house anymore. I didn't realize at the time how sad that actually is.

Hating on the Sinotronics...I found a pile of Telefunken's to feed the Hickock last Summer--good Times.
JJ's are good daily drivers.

Thanks for the insight. That worries me.
