I do most shopping online, only go to the stores for fresh veggies, dairy, meat, etc. I shop at Walmart, Amazon, eBay,, other online retailers (which don't list country of origin). So, here's some crap I've recently paid for. God willing, GEOTUS is going to redouble his efforts to bring manufacturing sanity back to America.
Some of my list. What's your list?
-
50 clear plastic soup containers with snap-on lids, so I can share meals with my neighbors. The lids don't fit.
-
A wind-up alarm clock because I'm in a rural area and the power goes out a lot. Took the clock out of the box, turned it over to wind it up and found that the wind up key was missing.
-
A pair of fuzzy women's winter slippers. Opened the plastic bag to take them out and the reek of insecticide was so powerful I actually lurched backward. Put them outside for days to air out, finally threw them away. Had to wash my hands a dozen times to get the reek of insecticide off.
-
A women's light spring jacket size 2x (for a large heavy woman). The jacket might have fit a severely malnourished first grader, maybe.
-
A pair of slip-on oven mitts to take hot dishes out of the oven. The pair I received barely fit over a single index finger, and not even all the way down my single finger.
-
Two large fat cinnamon scented candles. I opened the package and the smell was...kerosene? Gasoline? Something in the petroleum line. Threw them away.
I could go on and on, with deep-felt THANKS to our politicians over the past couple decades who allowed (profited) from this happening to America.
Your list?
I got a “Dakota “ blanket for charitable donation with a tiny Chinese child’s hair- try to buy American only- especially dog toys/treats/kids stuff! I work for an importer and although we have changed much to USA or turkey/ Italy- China still has some products we will purchase because no one else is producing currently- but I expect will change very soon as other countries fill the void of the Chinese monopolies on many products
Good post, thanks.
