So nice of Chicom to remind us what they are, just about the time we forget about their dangerous product because of financial crises drowning us.

Ping!

stay with USG.

You would think that the drywall installers would have noticed this and raised the alarm. Oh, wait, drywall is all installed by illegal aliens now who aren’t about to say anything about it. This guy can take the $2k he saved by hiring illegals and use that to pay his doctor’s bills.

China is already at war with us. Our manufacturers are put out of business because of impossibly expensive US regulations, and china gets to dump what ever it wants without being held to any standards. Who’s running the US government?

[Flavius]

Friends of mine are going down tommorrow to take down Chinese walllpaper down from the walls

[FreeKeys]

Who’s running the US government?

Funny you should ask. People who actually HATE the U.S. and what made it great in the first place, actually.

well said Tiger. on another ‘illegals’ note, a friend of mine’s son was having dad help him with his taxes last year. the kid,(white, American born), made $73,500.00 last year hanging drywall for union contractors in new hi-rise construction. he did not work any overtime due to family obligations, babysitting his kids etc. but he mentioned quite a few of the mexicans he worked alongside (illegals and non illegals) were over $100,000.00 last year WITH some overtime. they lived together in groups to save on rents and sent most of their weekly paycheck $$$ south. who ever said the mexicans are treating the good old USA as a big ATM machine was dead on the money.

radioactive maybe?

Classic products liability situation. No need to have taxpayers cover this. Here in FL there are some pretty bad cases, but again, this is no issue for FEMA or for some sort of application of social insurance.

[bobby.223]

was that post meant for my number 9 Wally?

[DoughtyOne]

Yeah, but he got that drywall and the metal fixtures at a good price. This guy is just a China-phobe, trashing innocent people just because they are different.

This reaction brought to you by FreeTraitors international. “Yes, we sold our neighbors and the nation out, but we lined our pockets in the process.”

Hire a lawyer and tell him to go to China and return with compensation. They have had enough practice killing American business. It they won’t go to China, well it’s time to rethink the value of lawyers. Everything in America is turning to $h!t and they are behing the decline.

wonder if the importer is a vanished fly by night

[Frantzie]

I bet those illegals paid no taxes too.

[TigersEye]

I can’t imagine anyone making that kind of money hanging drywall. But I never worked union (as a carpenter not drywall hanging) and the last year I worked full time was ‘95. I guess it’s a matter of where you work too. But top wages for carpenters leveled or fell during the ‘90s due to the influx of illegals. If the houses they build suck I am fresh out of sympathy for the homeowners.

[DoughtyOne]

That’s possible. Doesn’t sound good does it. I truly feel sorry for the family. They didn’t have a hand in the materials.

Is there a shred of proof for these assertions, or is this another black mold/breast implant/global warming scam?
