Yes, cheap mediocre products like, for example, jet planes. A mere half century ago we were hopelessly behind the Third Reich and Japan in that product line ~ even though they were defeated and flat on their backs. Pssst! Don't mention Airbus or aerial tankers, O.K.?

Pssst! Don't mention Airbus or aerial tankers, O.K.?Or the domestic content of the 787. Given the trend, one has to wonder if the 797 (if there is one) will be built entirely overseas.

It was reported here Boeing was contracting out engineering work for their new products. Sounds like Boeing plans to eventually just become a marketing concept.
Sort of like Black and Decker has become.
