If I’m paying $800 for an iPad (not exactly a small amount of money), then you’d better believe I expect it to not be made in the Third World.

Also, please take a look at an old IBM keyboard from the ‘80s that was made in the US and compare it to the pathetic, flimsy Chinese keyboards you find now.

So in conclusion, kindly stop drinking the NAFTA, free trade Kool-Aid. It’s proven to be a complete and total failure.

“Also, please take a look at an old IBM keyboard from the ‘80s that was made in the US and compare it to the pathetic, flimsy Chinese keyboards you find now.”

And the IBM computer that durable keyboard was attached to costs around $3,500.

Today, I can buy much a much faster computer, that was made overseas for less than $500.00.

And I can buy a new keyboard that is made in China for $12.00.

And while you are on your computer tonight, make sure you pay your Union dues.
