STOP BUYING CHINESE COMMUNIST CRAP.
...........................................
Millions of people would be very happy to do that, but there are two major obstacles. First, in many places around the country it is almost impossible to find products that are not manufactured in China or some other foreign country. And secondly, where products made in the USA are readily available, millions of people simply do not have enough discretionary income to pay the higher prices.
No, our corporate leaders did this to us.
.........................................
Yes, they most surely did. But on the other hand, we elect and pay the salaries of our legislators to LEGISLATE what our corporate leaders can and cannot do based on what is in the best interests of our country. They have consistently failed us in that regard, which is why many voters believe a Constitutional amendment mandating term limits is urgently needed.

Well played and damn funny too!
The Civil War (1861-1865) has long been blamed as the catalyst for the spread of drug addiction in America.

I’ve read many volumes of history pertaining to the CW but I’ve never seen that mentioned. Thanks for sharing (if true!).
I confess, it was news to me.

Check out one of the books about the crime family of southern Italy known as La Camorra. Reputedly more violent than the Mafia, it was the principal architect of the Chinese connection for the production of counterfeit expensive Italian brands of clothing, shoes, handbags, jewelry, etc.
Oh yeah, the American public was very much a part of our own destruction. This is another of my pet peeves.
No mention of union shakedowns driving business out, and lawyers using stupid juries to parasitize companies. They deserve some of the blame as well.
I did not know, and it was an unpleasant surprise. I had made a point of buying stockings from the Italian brands, thinking it was a European option. However, I now learn that the Chinese bought all that manufacturing in northern Italy, precisely for the appeal of the “Made in Italy” label.
To tie the girl into the moral of the story, the girl is dead now, but she left behind a three year old child. There is still hope for the child to live a better life.
Yes, excellent article.
Someone told me Triumph motorcycles after having made a comeback from death..........are now manufactured in India instead of England. Can that be verified? How sad if true.
Triumph Trident,,
Beautiful machine.
Yup.
.
China connection,,,?
No Idea.
I prefer the BSA Rocket 3......winner of the 1971 Daytona 200......of course the company collapsed one month later......
