cross posting this from another forum. US Airforce guys in Japan and other parts of the world find that the US Airforce approved some chinese company with an office in Cali to supply a few thousand K-trucks for use on bases around the world.

What the shit is this crap.

they should go with the cheapest company that provides what they need. without competition we just end up with American companies ripping off the tax payer. I don’t like being ripped off.

how well the product performs remains to be proven.

This a year old, but still, this is why we can’t have nice things.

Maybe we are doomed…

Pretty hypocritical of you since you exclusively buy import cars don’t ya think?

funny story. I am sitting in an Air Force owned Ford F-350 right now. This trunk has 6504 miles on it and the turbo is already shot and the radio is dead. As soon as an American car company produces something that isn’t shit then we can be upset.

little do we know… all the trucks that china sells to our military are actually hibernating robots, each armed with a small nuclear device. When the time comes, they will transform into the destructive automated devices meant to carry out their true purpose… DUN dun dunnnnn

yes because import car companies don’t manufacture any cars here or employ any americans in their factories… not really the same

stupid fbod owners! :picard:

Nissan?

Here’s part of the OP "chinese company with an office in Cali "…so technically they are employing American workers right? What’s the difference then?

well if you’d read the first post , it says

“yes, the company has an office in the US, Cali, but all they do is import and distribute, they are manufactured in China.”

thats nowhere near the amount of employees that a car company will provide jobs for

annnnnnnnd since you mentioned nissan, here ya go

AH, so what percenatge of employess here, on US soil, suddenly somehow makes it acceptable?

Well for one, IIRC bing’s not American he’s Canadian. So there goes your hypocrite theory.

Two, bing isn’t spending a ton of money with his right hand to save American business while giving money to chinese businesses over American businesses with his left hand.

Not the same at all.

plus the two cars he owns are 97 and older and hes not the original owner

basically, my original answer… but you wanted more “proof” of factories so i gave it to you. i’m done with your retarded argument joelster lol
