Maybe so, but
still MUCH less employess than any
ONE of the big 2(or 3??)
despite any of their much lambasted outsourcing, let alone the domestic owned/based/manufactured parts suppliers/subcontractors for said big 2 (or 3).
Let us also not forget that TOY (and all of the other foreign transplants)
DO NOT build their products here out of the total and heartfelt benevolence for the U.S. public, nor out of the "kindness of their hearts" like soooo many defenders/supporters think. <
They make MUCH more profit with their transplants, as well as getting the import lovers to make statements like the above.
FREE positive public relations, more profit, getting HUGE tax breaks and in many cases actually getting PAID to build their plants here, NO import tariffs, etc., etc.
How could they NOT build their transplants here??!!??
It's a WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN.... for them
