Even "american made" cars have 25% of their parts made overseas.

 

[Gurck]

Yeah, service, sorry - going to edit that in. Buying American (for Americans) is different since there's no other option in so many cases, especially electronics.

 

[beatmix01]

Wasn't zenith the last American comp. to make electronics?

Don't care either way

The question is, how do you know? There are so many products whose parts are made overseas and assembled here, and vice versa. I try to avoid companies that I know are evil (Walmart and Microsoft being the top 2 on that list), but, well, considering Microsoft wants to hire me, there is a really hard choice coming up here pretty soon . . .
