I understand the whole "global economy" thing, and actually the "vertical supply chain" thing too. I probably wouldn't have reacted the same way had they started out with manufacturing in China, but I also wouldn't have thought as highly of them in the first place.

I don't begrudge a guy making money, and lots of it... and if someone chooses to spend that money on "fancy hunts", or Ferraris or f-ing monster trucks, I couldn't fault him for that.

I know that they have had lead-time and capacity issues with both the materials supplier and the manufacturing. It just hurts to see that work going to China....

I'd encourage any customers, potential customers, or "interested but haven't made the leap" folks to let Jason know what you think of the move at the link above.
