I wish America was back in the furniture and textile/apparel businesses. I've lived in Virginia and North Carolina for 32 years. I've seen furniture makers and textile companies leave the South in droves for Asia. On a basic level, it's plain sad. So many towns that are a shadow of what they were. I know the reasons, mostly the cost of doing business. But with that money the factories saved, consumers have had to compromise on the quality they get, especially furniture. If I can help it, I won't buy one stick of furniture that's made in Asia.
