Thanks for these comments. From what the guy at my LHS said, it's the new tariffs that are now being imposed on goods coming into the country that are the main problem, so moving the manufacturing from China to elsewhere would not solve that problem. And, while it might solve the factory issues, there would still be the transporting costs and problems. But the main issue seems to be the new tariffs or fees on goods coming into the country.

Rob,There's just to much going against new manufacturing here in the U.S starting with EPA,OHSA,the "go green" movement and higher state and local taxes. :cry: All that before paying your employees a livable wage with benefits-gotta retain your quality workers and you won't do that paying minimum wage.
