He just despises those of us who try to put employment of our own countrymen first over artificially subsidized bottom-cost labor from the third world. Some of us dont like to pay twice for something.
The following comments all editing in without noting the edit. I dont know if SK has extreme subsidies, parity in terms of social costs, environmental regulations, etc., so I cannot comment on Hankook specifically. It is somewhat surprising, though then again if the S-class came with some top-super electronic doodad computing thing from Japan, dont think Id be very upset - chances are it wasnt pirated IP like some others' favorite producer nations tend to do.
Notice the "blue blood" comments coming now? LOL. No, sorry, bud. Those of us concerned about manufacturing jobs existing in our own country are far from aristocratic blue bloods who would far rather use third world wage slaves for labor to maximize (personal) profit.
Think you have your concepts mixed up.
There's JH trolling again.
And acting like a true moderator.
I guess if ones is not a 'blue blood' then no reason to note it.
In the future, speak for yourself.
