    The MLK Memorial dedicated this week in DC ($120M -paid for by Walmart, Boeing, etc) was built in China from Chinese granite.
    Now we don’t have any good sculptors?

    S.F. Bay Bridge replacement spans … steel fabrication done in Shanghai. Caltrans even turned down federal funding to get around ‘Buy American” requirements.

    Good Ol’ Beef.

    As my dad says, “Cows are machines that turn grass into steak. You could never build that.”

    I manufacture SKEGPROTECTORS for repair of broken boat skegs, right up in Oceanside.

    I would NEVER consider sending this work out of country even if it were cheaper.

    1. I enjoy giving work to small companies like my own even if it’s a bit more expensive, we need to stick together and help each other out in trying times as these…

    2. I don’t trust out of country companies to not steal my IP.

    3. I have a much better management capability having it all done locally.

    Thanks for the support!

    Piggs, feel free to PM me if you you need a boat skeg repair, I will give you an awesome discount on a SKEGPROTECTOR, just over cost.

    No intention of marketing here, sorry Rich. But, I figure all the discussions on this board have saved me many thousands of dollars. The least I can do is give a discount back to the members…
