Do you see what I see?, comparing my AC Delco parts to my Toyota parts Options

I'd think at first I could make a joke about it, but it's not funny it's a sad irony.


I think the next hope for an American car company is Tesla. they are designing their own factories to mass produce the batteries and with that expect to reduce the cost of them by at least 30%

It's an older LifeBook that states made, not assembled. I guess even they succumbed like the rest of the industry then. That's a shame, for ten years old it's still a fairly decent laptop. I haven't taken it down to the motherboard(haven't had a reason), but all the major components like the drives etc.. are even labeled Made in Japan. It surprised me even when I got it, then again it was like $2,000 in 2004 so I guess one would hope so. Yeah, when I see assembled I just take it as, "It came from China as a box of parts and WE put it together." I don't have a problem with buying from Chinese companies or even outsourced companies that treat their Chinese workers well(Yamaha off the top of my head), it's when borderline slavery is involved that I have a problem with buying their product.
