Classe move to China

Yeah, for Americans.. Or Canada.
I try to buy stuff made in USA.
Considering the actual trade war we are in with China (guess who has won the first five rounds? CHINA)
We are still able to change the outcome, but only if each individual who cares does something about it.
Now I have bought one or two little bits from China, and lots of other countries. But for the bulk of purchases, it is USA for me.
The last $60,000 plus has been Detroit (2012 Ford Focus), Minnesota (Magnepan 3.6 new), Canada (Bryston electronics)exclusively. With one detour for a used Kuzma, and others for a pair of cartridges. (England for the Rega P5, I wanted a VPI but they were all sold out at the time)
So I am trying to fight the trade war the only way it matters, buying American made stuff.
Every dollar spent buying Chinese is another bullet in the heart of America. And the heart of the American workers, economy.

I have to say yeah I am not perfect, and I bought some stuff from elsewhere.. but I try to do right. And if you live in America, you should consider it.. it matters.

I guess we only want the Chinese $$ to finance our bankrupted governments but not the products they produces.

Should the Japanese boycott Honda, Toyota ... for building their cars in USA and shipping them back to Japan for sale? Or the Germans building their BMW and Mercedes in US and exporting to other countries?

The last time I checked Classe is a private company and their goal is to make profits and stay in business. Does anyone have a clue in running a PROFITABLE business?

BTW, I'm not a fan of Classe and have no plans to buy one.

Timrhu, just because A company failed doesn't mean Classe will fail. Ultimately their customer will let them know one way or the other.

Thank you for initiating this thread, Fundsgon. I'm glad we out companies which go down this road.

Although never an owner of Classe, it's now absolutely out of the question. Not that it will change things at this point, but I hope the company reads this thread.

Right with you, Elizabeth!

Onhwy61- Marx and Lenin could not be further apart in their interpretation of communism. Perhaps you meant Marx and Engels? Lenin was a simple, ignorant hack compared to Marx. Lenin's most valuable political tool was his amoral, ruthless nature.

As for greed being the very heart of capitalism, well, that is just your opinion. I have known numerous wealthy capitalists that were quite kind, generous and the opposite of greedy.

No offense, but you paint with a broad brush; life is far more subtle.
