Good will is now the essence of every business. What a business represents withe the product. Not just what was used to make it, but how it was made. Transparency and business integrity, reliability, is where people will want to invest in, especially when the product itself is of the same quality.
Let's face it, ATM, quality of imports is good. Imports were our standard for decades, when eventually molded those countries into the top manufacturers.
We do need go back to supporting local.. but you know local also has to go back to supporting the people, not just by pushing product.. hawked from another system to improve just that individual business, but by pushing product which entails work and good will.
We don't want to see QM made in the USA without people or a place. We want you see QM and comments from happy workers from that 6 floor factory. The QM Campus.
The rich fckers need to ring it in. Less profit, more satisfaction.
Starting over. It only takes one.
