I really, really hate it when people lie.
Presenting BakUSA's amazing mastercraft in dishonesty, the seal 8.
More like "fresh outta Guangdong with the latest case designs open-sourced by the Chinese government"

Maybe because I'll be going there soon, I've been thinking a lot about my hometown, Buffalo, NY. As many of you know, I live in Siem Reap, Cambodia and I do a lot of blockchain technology consulting. I have steem to thank for that, in fact. But I want to talk to you today about a threat greater even than mexicans climbing Donald's wall:
The threat to our legitimacy posed by total bullshit companies being funded by the state.
See, in Haiti, the BAK family worked out a great scam. They bought tablet computers from China, and then sold them as made in Haiti.

They're all common Chinese models. 
Anyway, we can now see that pattern repeated in Buffalo, NY.
I do want manufacturing to come to my hometown, but I want it to be legitimate. I want the employees to learn actual skills, instead of simply imprinting their initials on the device to show that it is American made. I want the work to be genuine, an the skills transferred effective. But that is NOT happening here.

Credit- The people who actually make the tablet
BAK likes to talk about how it is helping communities with their "factories." But they're not. They are just remarking low-quality computers that no self-respecting Chinese person would be caught dead using. Fact is China makes some very good electronics-- just-- surprise, surprise, you won't find any of them sold by the company that has Americans stamp their initals on their product as a sign of craftsmanship yet do not actually make any tablets. Please, reach out to someone and ask them to share this article. I can no longer tolerate the depths of intellectual fraud I'm seeing out of my hometown.
