Really nice video . Great to see people taking pride in their work and building quality items right here in America.

Shortly following the dramatic announcement that Harley-Davidson is shifting some of its production overseas, its top domestic competitor is reminding us that its engines are built with American hands in the Heartland
The video below shows factory workers proudly doing their jobs at the Osceola, Wisconsin engine assembly plant. The plant recently built its 100,000th Indian Motorcycle engine and one worker expresses the “pride, craftsmanship, and honor” that goes into building every engine.
Polaris, the company which makes Indian Motorcycles, is also considering moving their USA manufacturing to Poland, for motorcycles sold to the EU market. This is to reduce their financial impact on tariffs. The tariffs are estimated to cost Polaris $15 million year.

Tariffs and Trump aside in the business world it always makes sense to grow or build your product closest to the market it is designed for.
When companies move out of America yet they are still making products for the American market it is usually because the cost of labor is so high here in the states. The shipping costs are offset by the low labor rates. Of course along with those low labor rates often comes dangerous situation for the workers or costs to the environment.
I can't help but wonder what is going to happen when the Dems get their wish and the minimum wage is raised to $15 per hour. I wonder how many companies will move out to save money?

Will there be any companies left in the USA after Trump chases them to other countries with his trade war, as they attempt to avoid tariffs. These are jobs which pay much higher than $15/hr which are heading to other countries and some of them will never return to the USA. Tired of all the "winning" yet?

Yeah $15 min wage will mean it doesn’t make much sense for many businesses to operate profitably .
For most businesses they don’t have to be located in these $15 min wage areas .
Prices now are really high for food at restaurants even casual type places has really gone up a lot even the last couple years . It’s not like 2 or 3% more like all the pro $15 claim . It’s like 20-30 percent of more already .
Min wage has been going up consistently and in 2020 it’ll be $15 in L.A .. just around the corner .
It doesn’t just affect min wage workers at fast food places because a lot of people with desk type jobs are making less than $15 now too so when someone can work at a fast food place for $15 hr people higher up will be asking for more too .
It’s not good for small business especially

Funny, Donny and Ivanka have been making their Chinese crap with no such minimum wage in place.

Why can European manufacturers pay far higher wages and remain in business and profitable? Our big corporations want slave labor that's why.
