Michigan based furniture maker La-Z-Boy has been having financial problems and is hoping to return to profitability after some restructuring. The company now has 7,000 fewer employees than six years ago, and it has farmed much of its work out to Asian suppliers.
This is disturbing news. Americans are the laziest, fattest people to ever waddle across the face of the Earth. There is nothing we enjoy more than comfortably planting ourselves in front of a TV while scarfing down a bag of Cheetos. Yet our most respected manufacturer of recliners is having financial problems?!?!?!
If our economy can't keep La-Z-Boy afloat, then manufacturing in this country is truly doomed.
