As we talked a bit in PM, i think you are missing the point. We aren't Ford or Chevy. For all the talk of Country, God, and buy American (or buy Greek as the Greeks would say) a large majority of people could care less about the small business surviving. They want it now and they want it cheap, even if it comes from China. We have become a society of people who feel entitled.
What you suggest is a cold and callous view of the plight of small buisnesses and i feel you are missing the real point. It's called ethical treatment of our fellow man kind. I for one believe you don't take the hard work of another man for ones own profit. We have become a very self centered, entitled, greedy society who will sell out his fellow man kind for a buck.
Also, as a consumer, we shouldn't be thrilled. The US's manufacturing industry is drying up and shipping over seas, largely for the reasons you mentioned above. All you told us was how the current industry works something we all already know, because we do have half a brain. What we are telling you is we think it may not be the absolute best way it could work. More and more of our jobs are drying up, small buisinesses are closing and more and more jobs are in the service industry which are lowing paying, offer little benefits and have no chance of advancement.

PS. I haven't examined the inside of the xhaler, so i will make no comments as to whether it is or isn't a copy.
