I agree...a fair wage. But problem is what is fair?? I live on less than $24K a year. How many can live with a wage that low? I don't have the answer. Each person has to look deep and decide what their priorities are. 5 yr old car?? 2 yr old car?? 1000 sq ft house? 3500 sq ft house? You can go on and on. But when you are completely truthful and sincere... how much of what we say we "need" is actually how much we "want". What more is needed than a roof, full stomach, and transportation? Not much IMO. As far as the tariffs... I don't have the knowledge to comment with a plausible explanation. Wouldn't even be a WAG if I tried. But if they put that much of a "crimp" on the products...they'd maybe do like has been done. Set up shop in the US.. claim outsourcing on the components.. and assemble here. I don't know, like I said...WAG. I did hear something interesting the other day. One of my best friends is customer service for an electric motor facility here. They supply the motors for the drill doctor. Each and every one is made in China to the company's specs and shipped in by container. 18,441 motors per. Usage is about 3,500/week at the assembly plant in Washington.
