The U.S.A. cannot compete with 3rd world, Eastern European, and Asian labor rates for manufacturing anymore. Their GNP is closely related to Intellectual property which can easily be 'stolen' without strong intellectual property laws. Knockoff products and cloned trademarks are eating into American's livelihoods. Outsourced manufacturing of commodity products serves to teach foreign factory owners how to improve quality and target higher end goods and production methods. I support strong intellectual property laws with fair royalties to compensate knowledge workers for their labour.

Comment Personal Observation. (Score 1) 930

This is a personal observation only but I am a reasonably tall person at 6 feet 2 inches and I normally drive a SUV (Jeep Grand Cherokee) but on occaisions where I rent a vehicle I often get a Toyota Corolla. Several times in these rental vehicles I have found that A. The distance between Steering Wheel and pedals is too small, My knee hits the wheel when I am moving my foot from gas pedal to brake and B. The pedals themselves I find too close together. One time this resulted in my climbing the curb while driving in to a parking spot. This is not only a problem with Toyota Corollas but many 'Compact' and 'Mid size' sedans as defined by the rental companies so I always specify a Full Size.
