Don't act like asking the question about my friend's alleged greed isn't implying he is greedy. What an obnoxious question when I already stated he was LOSING MONEY! I put in caps so you don't miss it. I suppose many leftists think anyone that makes a profit is in fact greedy but we can all see what we get from the non-profits of the world and government. All they can do is put their hand out and ask for money from the productive. And then we compare that to the great benefits the world has experienced as a result of the profit motive. Sad that we still need this kind of education.

I am not arguing about the quality of the crowns produced in China, I am only passing on what I am told by an expert that has incredibly high standards. I also said I SUSPECT (again in caps so you don't misunderstand or mischaracterize what I stated) they wouldn't care but I don't know for a fact. You see I try to write precisely and when I use a word like "suspect" that means I am guessing or surmising but don't know for sure. I can tell you the dentists know and don't seem to care since the quality is high and the price is reasonable.

Finally, your comment that "it is not just about “money or profit”." just about says it all. You see business exists to generate a profit. That is what they are for and any other primary motivator is doomed to eventual mediocrity and in many cases failure. It is truly a sad insight into the mind of a leftist that they simply have no concept of what businesses exist for and need to survive and thrive.

You seem to think there is this huge mass of Americans demanding products made in the USA and yet they make logical buying decisions every day that flies in the face of that faulty assumption. People for the most part purchase goods based on quality and price and while all things being equal they may prefer domestic products as we saw in spades with the auto industry they will not overpay for inferior products just because they were made in this country.
