  • Its the same here in England-we don't make anything anymore-its nothing short of criminal-why was this allowed to happen?

  • That was such a great and timely video

    America has lost its manufacturing greatness, we don't make things or things people want. Sure iPods and so on, but where are they made?

    The last part about commerce and how money flows back to the consumers own pocket book is SO PROFOUND! Where is China's wealth coming from? They made s#%t and lots of it.......their quality is good and getting better. Cars? Japan beat our butts in the 80's and 90's and we are paying for it now....Booo

  • Can it pick up GNR?

  • very little is made in north america anymore.

  • Man, every time I see that woman grab that soldering iron like a 5-year-old grabbing a crayon I cringe.

  • Minute transistors.. LMAO

  • @jetman1979 China was probably buying these radios

  • We (as consumers) were also at fault - remember we demanded lower prices and we got them, only if we moved our production off shore.
