Optima Batteries moves
My .02 cents again. It's not a race thing at all as Steve says. Some concerns are: an inferior product may be built due to lack of training and/or skills, a US company taking advantage of cheap labor/people to maximize profit and still charge top dollar, and work leaving the country to any other country. Obviously the will be some resentment to Mexico, in this case, because the work is going there, but everyone here is pissed at Optima/ Johnson Controls.
It is just sad to see this happening. Think of it this way, we are in a Global Economy now, right? As long as our imports are greater than our exports, we are getting poorer each day. Slowly we will raise others standards of living and ours will decline. Eventually we will be poor and have lost the skill base and craftsmanship that make our country so rich.
We all see it coming and very few are doing anything about it. I guess I should head off to Walmart now and support China.
