Remarkable American Engineering

My old US made box fan that last 30+ years before dying. Gone through 5 or 6 of the walmart/target fans in the last 10-15 years. Spent more on those 5 or 6 than I did on the 30 year old fan.

Shareholders/consumers when profits and return on investment rule along with a race to the bottom cheap price drives sales over quality, you get a result that is less than favorable.
