For years I have marvelled at how well Ace HArdware does although it
is often very close to Big Box hardware stores. *This is due to them
having knowledgeable help and a good selection of hard to find items.
However, today, I bought a socket extension there of the Ace brand and
as I was leaving the store I noticed it was "MAde in China". *Of
course, they had no others.
So, I wrote letter to Ace HQ complaining about this. *Their reply was
some nonsense about how stores are individually owned and the owners
control what they sell. *WRONG. *They are required to sell the ACE
brand. *Even then, ACE controls the ACE brand, not the stores. *So not
only do they continue to sell Chinese crap, they lie to me about it.
They have lost me as a customer.

So if there was poorly made American say at $5 and and say a $1.50
version from China you would buy American?

Funny, I used to know Chrylser workers in Racine hat owned rice rockets
and Toyotas, although they would take a Chryler beater just for work
parking.

I kid you not, I used to live there.

A communist "economy" cannot produce consistent quality because the
system discourages long term planning. *Any company thta does well
ends up being required to have ChiCom party members on its board.
Company owners quickly realize it is better to just make a quick buck
and get out than to make a long term commitment to quality.
A capitalist economy is at least capable of producing quality. *Japan
obviously does as does Taiwan.
China can execute all the QC people they want but it will not help.
The problem is inherent in their system of govt.

There is nothing communist about China at all. *Best described as
authoritarian-capitalist. *Compared to the US, lean and mean. *Chinese
could go head on with almost any company the US has.

Executing bad people like corporate fraud, drug dealers, multiple
reoffenders, pedofiles etc. is a Chinese efficiency. *Why spend money to
keep people alive that care so little about others? *Nice clean
philosphy. *Admirable actually if done fair. *And from what I see, so
far soo good when they executed the UK drug dealer even though UK
protested. *Less back room politicial corruption exists.

GM's wagoner would be in jail and fiscally wiped out. *Not rewarded
rewarded for corruption well done by his Harvard buddies.

In China, CEOs and bankers tried 1/2 the crap they try here, they would
be executed.

Crony capitalist/communist. No hope of quality products. You should
have learned this from experience so far.
The problem is built into their system.

You ****ing wingnuts don't even know whether you're commie or
capitalist.
Very confused.
