Why does "made in Singapore" distress you?

i guess you have to be of the age when 'made in america' meant something special. it just seemed the end of an era for hp, a prototypical american company. hp quality was renowned, the world standard. nearly every piece of test equipment i used in the navy was hp. for them to compromise in any way just seemed a betrayal of all they stood for.

HP calculators have been manufactured in Singapore in addition to other places for more
than the past 30 years. Singapore has world class manufacturing facilities and a highly
skilled workforce. Singapore is a source of Intel CPUs and numerous primary components
from other manufacturers also.

and today there is no stigma (or little) re overseas manufacture. i personally never envision buying another american car, ever. and i distrust the japanese cars which are manufactured here.

The function of art is to reveal this radiance through the created object. - Joseph Campbell
