- Comment on Why are solar panels and batteries from China so cheap: It's more to do with automation and state-of-the art manufacturing processes than cheap labour. 5 weeks ago:
There are many reasons things are not made in the US including:
-
Unwillingness to accept lower profits including as compared with foreign competitors.
-
Unwillingness to make big and risky capital investments needed for scale.
-
An active mangemement objective to globalize their organization. Presumbly for flexibility.
Companies always throw it on manufacturing cost is too high but that is not the only reason.

My Ting plan is about $30 per month, unlimited talk and text for 2 phones and including the first block of data we usually need. Data is billed combined at something like $5 per GB, so we really prefer to say under 1GB which is the first block.
Yes, it is a good deal. Less than half what many people pay. I could afford to buy 10GB of data for the cost difference and that is typically the limit is on many “unlimited” plans.

My plan still is pay per MB. So yes, of course I use SMS. Besides, what alternative is there? No one has the same apps.
