That doesn't sound like a "snake oil" tour to me?
Antennas Direct, like most US companies these days uses off shore manufacturing. While I think most of us would prefer domestic manufacturing we all know the realities of that situation and its unlikely to change anytime soon. I recommend raising that issue with your elected representatives rather than here.
Thanks again for reading! |
Giving away antennas is advertising.
I will continue to support companies that manufacturer in the US.
The reality of the situation is we have moved so many manufacturing jobs off shore in the search for cheaper labor and with government incentives to do so, it's a wonder anything is made in the US.
However this is going to lead to a jobless recovery from the recession and be more just the way it is in the US. We ran for years without the jobs on credit that has now dried up based on inflated home values to a large part. An economic system can't run forever on just increased real estate and new homes, it sooner or later hits a limit that we saw happen.
If find here an excellent place to discuss the merits of the situation. It's gone beyond politics into the wallets of Americans that have been told now for 20 years, it's just the way it is now, sorry.
I am not advocating nationalism, as that is also bad economic policy but just accepting the average worker has less to money and will have even less money in the future because it's just the way it is , is unacceptable to me. It's time to start talking about this every where.
Again, I love the concept of a better UHF antenna in the C1,2,4. I have deep disdain though to take something to be more than it is, things are the way they are, it's ok, and any spin to market a product is just ok anymore, as everyone else does it.
Less advertising throughout
