And what does all the U.S customers have to say? Same as most of our forum members!
WE WANT IT FOR CHEAPER, MUCH CHEAPER, maybe FREE with GREAT SERVICE! and how does these wonderful U.S business suppose to respond to these customers demands? I guess that will be true if you have something or some business that is service oriented like eBay which is right down the street from me, and not have to mass produce hardware but sell a concept, and if your have some what of a monopoly on a service, product or formula, than maybe you can be competitive in the U.S. successfully. But most U.S company that wish to stay in business MUST be able to accountable to their stock holders why their competition can make that much more bottom line profit by going off shore! The answer is how many Americans make $1 an hour or less? Yes, if U.S companies can compete by using U.S labor, then may I ask why would ANY company seek help off shore?
Being in the GPS business, Magellan use to build their systems in Canada, then Thailand, now China. Garmin use to manufacture their product is Taiwan and now they have moved to China to manufacture most of their products. By the way, the Taiwaness don't really like China because they wish to take over Taiwan, but guess what, the building cost is CHEAPER in China, so off Garmin goes to China to build becuase they can save a buck and pass this saving to you and compete with other GPS companies. Alpine is now manufacturing in China, Navman is manufacture in China. Korea and China is taking over the GPS industry. Tomtom is manufacture in China. Can you name me a sucessful GPS company that manufacture GPS systems in the U.S?
So if you wish to use a GPS system that is not manufactured in China, use a paper map and a compass otherwise, support your country or we will be buying or bidding on eBay from China direct for these GPS systems which will be even cheaper, but you will not have a place to go to to see what one looks and feels like.
Excuse my poor grammar and spelling, but I think my belief is clear, it's o.k folks, and please understandable that not everyone should patronize their local business STEALERS by buying from them. The only question I have is when does a business owner or a business become a stealer from a good average U.S company? If they own more then one home, more then one car, more then one motorcycle? When does an honest businessman becomes a stealer for being sucessful in what they do? at what point does it happen? if they own more or have more then their customers than they are labeled a stealer? Just don't complaint when the company you own or work for have to cut cost and benefits out of your pocket to compete with other NONE STEALER BUSINESS, then and maybe only then some of you will think why all this bottom line savings is coming back to hunt you!
Hey, I am just having fun here, don't take things to seriously, it is a motorcycle forum, but it's fun just to be able to post our believes and view point is it not?
