Folks may think this is getting political and maybe it is but Corporations are all about making as much money as they can. If this means purchasing things from foreign countries that might use slave labor, they have no problem with that. That may be the problem. Maybe they should have a problem with that.

We purchased very little from the Soviet Union and Red China during the cold war. A lot has changed since then. Mom & Pop businesses are a lot more few and far between now days because the consumer wants low prices too.
