I was in Goodwill this morning and they were looking through the children’s clothing and removing anything with metal buttons, snaps, zippers, etc. Why? Because they MIGHT have traces of lead in them. This means you can’t buy jeans, winter coats, back packs, etc. There were very few sweaters left.
There will be some kids freezing their butts off this winter, I expect...
Not at first... they will gradually boil that frog
Wow, they must have made a really really big agreement with China. First we get rid of all the used cars, then the used clothing, appliances, etc...

Oh, well, as long as it’s short of drawing their guns at garage sales, no problem.
I wouldn’t doubt the big box stores lobbied for this because they are hurtin’ and see them as competition now.
Holy crap... I could have been a PhD
MD shakes fist at lead paint... curse you sweet tasting paint chips, curse you...
