I mean yeah thats how it works if you outsource your work to low wage, low work safety countries. And the result is that the machine shop near you goes bankrupt and you are now dependent on large corporations that can wipe out whole business segments on a whim. Sometimes you just dont have a choice, but if you do, dont buy cheap stuff from far away or big corpos.

What if all the big corpos are near you and the small businesses are far away? What if the local machine shop is a subsidiary or a contractor for a big corpo and they charge so much because of that?
