Ever Seen An American Made TV?

You know how nothing is made in the US any more, since companies decided that its cheaper to ship stuff over oceans to us? TVs in particular took a hit as Japan, Taiwan and other Asian nations had an affinity for showing us up. Well things are looking up as Syntax-Brillan (makers of my 37 inch HD LCD TV) are moving production of their Olevia line to the US. They'll save on import tariffs of value added products and shipping costs, which are directly related to screen size. They'll use one tenth of the shipping containers for raw parts as completed sets. Imagine if every industry could cut shipping volumes by 1000%. So everyone go buy an Olevia LCD TV and feel good about buying locally.
