my coffee maker died on me recently so i needed a new one. off to a site we all know and im about to buy a name brand coffee maker with some newer features my old one was missing. well, right before i checked out i looked at the country of origin and saw that it was made by godless dog eating govt worshipping chicoms so i removed it from my cart in disgust, performed an online query to find any coffee makers not made in china. found one from indonesia. thats better...but not by much. i keep looking, score, i found a coffee maker brand thats still made here in the us! yes, it was $50 more. but dude, dude, it has some stainless steel parts, is made by freedom loving americans and the best part: it brews an entire pot of coffee in 3 minutes! 3 minutes pedes! for that reason alone its way better than anything those ferengi chicoms make! sure its 50 bucks more, but totally worth it. As president william mckinley said, I do not prize the word cheap. It is not a badge of honor. It is a symbol of despair. cheap prices make for cheap goods; cheap goods make for cheap men; and cheap men make for a cheap country. not complying with covid dictates is not enough, stop buying cheap goods from our enemies!
