I've seen other kit manufacturers attempt to recover these costs the
easy way over the last few years by moving operations to places such as

of oil these days.

It may well be short sighted, but have you looked at the labels on any of
your recent purchases? I recently read an essay by G.K. Chesterton where he
questions the advisability of exploiting the cheap labor in the Far East;
the book I was reading was rather fragile, since it was published in 1912.
He, too, considered it short sighted.
