Hope ya know I was being facetious????
I was at Home Depot the other day and just about everything I picked up, from tools to lighting fixtures, were labeled made in China..
Wasn’t planning on eating those either. As long as those items are safe for use, not causing fire hazards or injuring the operator, fine.
But since we are near this “amnesty” period, we will now have enough “cheap labor” to compete with China? Fire up those defunct steel mills, food canneries, car factories and lets have at it!! I am not a statistical or economic wizard so I need some help here on understanding. What can we do to get out of this?

Please don’t worry, BighIsleGal.

I knew it was tongue-and-cheek, but you gave me food for thought about where it was made. I bought it in a hurry and without questions. My upright had just totally died never to be resuscitated. I ran out of the house to buy a new one. Without thinking about it, I liked this new contraption because (a) there was no bag to replace, and (b) it came with wheels.

May I add that in Panama wall-to-wall carpeting is very rare, if it exists at all, due to the warm weather; therefore, it served my purpose since I don’t have wall-to-wall carpeting.
