I read that article. Does this part make any sense? -- Through Motorola’s website, consumers could tailor certain details of the phone’s aesthetic like the color of its buttons and back panel — one of the device’s key selling points. “To do that, you had to manufacture closer to the consumer,” Woodside said. --- If the order is placed over a web site, who cares if the manufacturing is 20 miles away from the customer, or on the other side of the planet? I agree with the sentiment that it's very hard to attract and retain US workers in mundane assembly. We should be grateful the Chinese are doing all this mundane assembly labor rather than trying to do it in the US. If the factory is primarily automated with minimal human labor, then sure, build it wherever electricity price is the lowest. Even then, the value added is in designing the product and the automation systems. If the (high paying) design jobs are in the USA, who cares if the manufacturing / assembly plant is in Singapore or in Ohio?
