Well, no problem. Congress will just raise corporate taxes (again) and make China richer....as our jobs and companies go down the crapper.
Communist China loves capitalism as long as they control every bit of it.
I don’t buy ANY Christmas decoration that has China stamped on it.
It’s funny because every year around this time I think of what it would be like if a U.S. company were to make some decent quality Christmas items. Whether ornaments or decorations or lights (indoor and/or outdoor), etc.
With automation and the regulations that certain quality measures be factored in, I’d think that a company could offer their wares at slightly higher prices than the Chinese stuff and still sell massive quantities because they’d (a) be made in America, and (b) be of better quality than the items on the next shelf or peg hook.
It would be worth it to pay $6 for something that’ll last 6 years instead of $1.99 every year.
The biggest downside would be federal and state regulations (not insurmountable, but definitely a pain) and the start-up costs for the equipment. And no, I’m not talking about the red-powder-sprayed styrofoam junk mentioned in the article. {{{shudder}}}}
“working twelve hours a day for no more than £200-300 a month” and they aren’t sure what Christmas is ...
Lazy, greedy commies AND heathens.
