Hi Randy. I don't mean this to be mean, and that very well may be the reason with Frigidaire for sure, but was that the real reason or is that just what got out to the general public. Sometimes press is a terrible thing. Again, certainly not casting doubt, but in a large company board rooms there is a lot more discussed than is general knowledge.
In Frigidaire's case, lower wages may certainly be the main reason.
However, I deal mostly with new plants that deal more so with the Plastics Industry. Most already have existing Plants in the States. I hate to tell you the number of Green Grass Plants we have designed and helped quote that get shelved because it just costs too much to get Permitted and through the local and federal government bureaucracy. Not only that, but everything has to be made so Stupid Proof that these companies look at the cost vs reward and either shelf the Project or send it elsewhere.
When I say Stupid Proof, I don't mean handrail around a deep pit, I'm talking money spent to make sure, that they are sure, that they are sure, that they are sure, that no one can possibly get hurt. In which case, someone will invariably remove the hundreds of protections, and get hurt.

It changes from Geographical locations for sure, but it will make you want to pull your hair out for sure.
