Now,now,simmer down-----
---Not that it really matters but,LG came into the business way before they were where they are today. I was told that L.G.was making numerous components and other electronic parts being used in many different American made appliances for decades before they gobbled up many different Asian/Korean brands that were going belly up in the late 80's.They reformed and twigged them using many different engineers from those bought brands and incorporated them all as one,Lucky Goldstar(L.G.).IMHP American made appliances have been losing in their struggle to afford keeping American workers busy.The cost of them paying out to retired emplyees' pention and the high cost of health coverage has skyrocketed.Union dues,open legal cases on employee workman's compensation,and work related injories have also added to the dismisal of American based appliance manufacturer's factories. Every one of whom have shut down their facilities here and gone to outside countries,employing their workers who will work dilligently for a lot less and meet the needs of their consumers with fewer strikes and less bennifits.It's the manufacturer's fault,if anyone's,that American brands are failing now.Not L.G's,not Samsung's and not Haire's.Not that I'm into being old fashion but pride always comes before the fall.
