Moreover, who cares about a hairy army of junkfood loving bears stumbling around the woods of northern Wisconsin Mainly, the research highlights the degree to which. Arizona based Syntax Brillian elbowed its way into the market with hi def televisions assembled at a factory in Ontario, Calif. Sold under the Olevia brand name, the TVs are midprice LCDs with a growingthough still smallshare of the market. Our biggest advantage is manufacturing in the United States, says Vincent Sollitto, executive chairman. The televisions are designed and engineered in City of Industry, Calif. Then the components panels, other electronic parts and plastics are made separately in Asia and shipped to the West Coast facility. Syntax Brillian can put together whatever models its customers are calling forand do it faster than the overseas competition. If Circuit City wants more of a certain set in three weeks, we couldnt possibly do it from Asia, Sollitto says. Shipping the televisions and maneuvering them through customs would consume a month or more. The most important thing in electronics is execution and speed, he says.

America has some of the richest farmland on Earth, with horizon leaping fields of corn, wheat, soybeans, potatoes and more. Much of that acreage is tended by farmers driving machines made right here at home. The consistent high quality and productivity rate in the United States is a real advantage for us, says Randy Baker, president and CEO of Case IH, which makes its biggest machinescombines, balers and tractorsat factories in six states. The company also operates plants overseas, making sugar cane equipment in Brazil, for instance, and smaller tractors in Austria. The factory turns a metal frame into a finished tractor in five to six days. Building domestically allows us to be close to the end user, Baker says.

The creator of Pepe the Frog, the once lovable cartoon frog appropriated by the assorted white supremacists, neo Nazis and other vile meme makers of the so called alt right, has successfully enforced a copyright claim against a dude who had Pepe drawn into a bigoted childrens book. Per Motherboard, artist Matt Furiewho is absolutely not a brownshirt, and originally created Pepe for his comic Boys Clubhas obtained a settlement with author Eric Hauser, getting the latters book The Adventures of Pepe and Pede pulled from sale. As the Washington Post noted, the book is loaded with references to the far right movement, including Pepe, who originated as a catch all meme on image boards like 4chan before becoming closely associated with neo Nazis in the public imagination. Hauser self published the book on August 1st, subsequently leading to him losing his role as an assistant principal at North Texas Denton Independent School District. The point we are trying to make with this case is that Pepe the Frog does not belong to the alt right, Louis Tompros, an IP lawyer with Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP who worked pro bono on the case, told Gizmodo. They thought they could claim him as their symbol, he added. But they cant. Hes a character that Matt Furie createdand Matt has watched as the alt right tried to associate him with hateful ideas and symbols. The childrens book was really a breaking point it was the point at which Matt decided to stand up and fight back. Pepe was jammed into the book alongside a number of obvious right wing references, making the associations even more obvious. Pede, his insect sidekick, is a reference to the centipede nickname Donald Trumps supporters use on their noxious Reddit hub, rThe. Donald. The villain of the book, a bearded alligator named Alkah who lives in a swamp and employs mud covered minions vaguely resembling women wearing burqas or niqabs, is an obvious and disparaging reference to the Islamic religion. Pepe and Pede eventually defeat Alkah by throwing blessed buds from a tree of honesty at him honestly, your guess is as good as mine. Tompros and his colleague Don Steinberg told Motherboard that Hauser immediately admitted he had violated Furies copyright on Pepe by selling the book. Hauser agreed to cease all sales of and surrender all profits from The Adventures of Pepe and Pede. They added Furie intended to donate the entirety of Hausers 1,5. Council on American Islamic Relations, a Muslim civil rights group. In an interview last year, Furie insisted the Pepe character was never intended to be racist, and he created him just as this stoned, chill frog that lives with his dorky roommates and they just fart on each other and watch TV and drink soda and stuff. He added he hoped people would understand the frog is not just a racist phenomenon, but all I can do is try to clear his name. We need to collectively stand up to white supremacists, whenever and however we can, Tompros told Gizmodo. And one way Matt can is by telling the white supremacists that they cant have Pepe. Were helping him do that. Matt is going to aggressively enforce his intellectual property against anyone espousing racism, white supremacy, Islamophobia, or any other kind of hate, he added. We have identified other individuals and hate groups who may have infringed Matts intellectual property in Pepe the Frog. Were investigating further, and we willwhere appropriatetake action to shut them down. This is the beginning, not the end. Hauser has continued to insist he is not a white nationalist, supremacist or anything but a conservative, telling the Dallas Observer he wrote the book to break down the barriers of political correctness and embrace truth, honesty and teamwork. He added he believed critics had identified Pepe as a supremacist symbol as part of an attempt to silence conservatives, which sounds an awful lot like he hasnt learned a single thing from this whole debacle.
