i usually read these type of threads and take them with a grain of salt, i for 1 realise that most of the world does not like the USA, alot of the world business leaders do, we have here in my part of flyover country in the USA, a BMW plant, Michelin plant , Fuji films, Ryobi, it seems most parts of the USA are quite service oriented or tourism areas for the cheif source of income, her we must really on manufacturing and we welcome outside companies into or area and we are thankful for them fyi is all.
