I suspect that AERC orders from an American company that outsources its jobs
to the orient.  Just look at all the things you have that are made
abroad......just about all our clothes, although jeans are probably made in
Mexico.  Even my husband's Dodge Ram diesel pickup was made in Mexico.  The
question is, do we have a choice anymore?  Try and find a company that
doesn't outsource most of its work to some foreign country whose people work
for significantly less salary than Americans do.
