I keep my "china buy" list to a minimum.
Good luck finding a thermos that is "Made in the USA" (and not "assembled" [we screwed the cap on] in the usa).
Same goes for a lot of fine and intricate things. Zippo lighters are made in the USA, but their butane inserts are made in China....and the quality shows, it sucks, I've gone through one so far and will likely return the one I have in a few months.
Thankfully I've found plenty of USA-made companies. However I do suspect a few are yanking my chain. Brizard & Co claims their metal hardware is "Made in the USA" but I don't think their cigar cutters are.
My favorite masks are from a random company in canada who buys them from china.
TBH, it's the only chinese product I'll keep buying, they are ridiculously comfortable and I wash them after every use, because people are filthy nowadays - if I can smell them through a mask, it's worth washing it.
It's useful when done properly. You need to work the muscle groups near where the cups are applied beforehand, otherwise it just gives you bruises.
I had a pocket of lactic acid and cupping + graston technique got that sucker out instead of dry-needling.
Cupping marks.
Basically you place cups on your back and apply suction to them, then let them sit for awhile.
It draws blood to the surface and out of the muscle groups, it helps pull gunk out of muscle groups when done properly. I had it done awhile back and you don't bruise that bad after your second or third time doing it.
It hurts the first few times, but the benefits are amazing. Prep-work is key though, graston technique beforehand makes it work just as good as dry-needling.
Seriously helped me out of a painful time with some spinal issues.
This will sound horrific, but it's the correct solution.
They should defend the power grid with force, lethal if necessary. The oil in transformers is dangerous and can lead to health issues if not death. Shooting a few vandals in this case might end up saving more lives than by letting them distribute the fluid as cooking oil.
