[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1373929, member: 20599"] Problem is the "race to the bottom." We were intrigued years ago when we were feeling frugal; needed a new car; and saw a Korean-built one that we liked. We had always tried to "buy American" but this was a well-ranked, nice-looking car for a few grand less than a comparable US one. We looked into it more and the main reason for the price difference was the (at that time, anyway) lack of environmental protections in Korea. We decided we couldn't justify buying a car which was made on such an un-level playing field. We try to avoid foreign-grown produce etc for the same reason: if we have made the decision that a chemical or process is unhealthy for humans, I think it is both unfair to expose foreign workers to it (just so I can buy something cheaper) and also unfair to US workers... just my 2 pennies, fwiw [/QUOTE]
