Hi there,

This video has a lot of good points regarding the manufacturing cycle.

Click on "stuff" movie box and watch the full video. There are some excellent points about the externalizing of costs, and about this whole production system.

It should stimulate this discussion.

I was listening to news radio this morning, and they did a story about the new Willis Avenue bridge being brought into place. That bridge crosses the Harlem River and joins the Bronx and Manhattan. It was fabricated up the Hudson near Albany, of American steel, and floated down on a barge. It got me thinking about all the good things that are made in the USA, and I was able to come up with a pretty impressive mental list. Hopefully, other posters will join in.

Hey, if Airplanes are made in USA then why are the seats so tiny?

Maybe the seats were made and imported from China?
