Yup, your own people did this to you, it has happened in pretty much every country in the world and quality has suffered every time. Yesterday I bought some screws with a #2 square drive, from an Australian company, but I had to return them as they didn't fit a #2 square drive....they didn't fit any square drive in the store....guess where these screws are now made??

My point being, most of us here are old enough to have watched much our manufacturing jobs leave to countries like China. While some called it "corporate greed" or blamed it on higher salaried American workers, our own gov't. was taxing our corporations at 35% (until 2017) while China taxed theirs at much lower rates. High and New Technology Enterprises are taxed at 15% and Software and Integrated Circuit (IC) companies are taxed at 10%. I used China as an example because that's the biggest elephant in the room.
