Re: Made in America

For various reasons, most of the respondents of this poll agree with each other that we should continue buying large amounts of imported parts to teach robotics to future engineers. Most CEOs would agree with you, buying imported parts is generally faster and cheaper than purchasing more expensive components manufactured at America's higher wages.

CEOs can get more product out the door and thus more profit using imported parts, just like we can get more robot into the bag mirroring that same corporate approach, the same approach that outsources technology jobs. Like a flu vaccine, is the cure also a modified version of the disease? This is certainly interesting to say the least.
