I wonder, who will “STOP buying their cheap CRAP” first??

—

I stopped some time ago - or at least tried to stop (it’s damn near impossible because our companies have SOLD OUT America so much that China produces almost EVERYTHING). Beware, too, of companies that proclaim “MADE IN THE USA!” and then when you read the fine print it turns out it may be made in the USA technically... from “imported” parts (and you know what THAT means).

I did get a pair of new sneakers recently, though, and I was happy that they were made in South Korea (and they’ll last years longer than the Chinese GARBAGE that the “big box” stores sell).

I tried to buy a kayak anchor this week.

99% of boat anchors are made in China.

1% are made in India, none for kayaks.

0% are made in America.

I’d be happy to buy one from, say Thailand!
