Delta's Coming Home!!!  

Yeah, I havent heard this but I really think our country has let things go TOO far already. I dont think in many ways we would be self sufficient now if these countries decided not to trade with us anymore.
I am glad to see at least this one return!

Oh wow I hope other companies in other countries listen and watch this, I am in Australia and so many of our large companies go off shore as they call it, our banks, telecommunications, manufacturers...I have always thought it to be so unaustralian as we the customers are for ever being told to be patriotic in this area and buy Australian and support Australian asnd then the big companies opt out for where they can make bigger profits, I think when big companies do this sort of thing should be called treason really...in fact I think if companies started advertising that their companies are fulloperational in the country concerned would be a big marketing grabber, I know if the banks here in Australia would have the whole of their business done here in Australia i would be one of their first customers....they should back their own country and their own people even if it means a little less profit, for heavens sake they make enough....I say good on Delta, I hope they have started something here....

I hadn't heard this! Wow! I am happy to hear that. I am so sick of the shoddy goods and services that come from overseas. Nothing to do with China, but it seems that lead and other dangerous contaminants get into dog food, baby food, toys for children and whatnot. I'd rather pay a premium price and have stuff that is made according to standards set by the US.

I think it's great!

I remember reading Hershey's wouldn't be making a certain candy bar here anymore but was moving the operations to Mexico. I emailed them that I'm boycotting that product and they wrote back a long justification of the move. I've forgotten which item it was but I'm boycotting Hershey's anyway.

If we would make it more tax-friendly for companies to be here, they would come back. Most of them left because of taxes and labor problems.

That is the good news bad news..it is great that the company is coming home and hope that many follow their example but it is going to make it even harder to make ends meet if prices sky rocket for it. But I guess as you said well worth it in the end and less worries every time we or the kids put things in their mouth.

As much as I hate to see jobs leave people who need them in another country, we really need to bring our jobs and manufacturing back to our own country and make it too expensive for them to outsource jobs.

It appears that most of the outsourced jobs outside of the US is going back to their hometown because of global crisis. Companies goal is to cut manpower cost that is why they outsource back office jobs outside the US. They really save a LOT. But going back home they will pay again high compensation packages to its fellow Americans. But I think the government have a special deal to this companies that will bring back the seats back to the US. Maybe cutting the taxes. And if that is the deal, then they will still save, but NOT that much compared when they outsourced.
