I read somewhere that said most of them are from China, China doesn't get paid until they unload ... Good. Fuck China
I haven't bought Chinese shit in years... and the assholes still buying it can piss off too. Don't support slave labor (or ya know, any country that's trying to destroy us).
It is hard to avoid buying stuff from China. I needed light bulbs, so I went to a mom & pop hardware (franchise) hardware store- either Ace or TruValue to avoid the Big Box place, in hopes of doing more for the local economy and real small business... All the lightbulbs they had on the shelf were made in China, so I bought them, because it was a locally owned, long established small business.
I didn't go to Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, Costco, Dollar General, or a grocery store... but it felt like I didn't quite achieve my goal of supporting American manufacturing and American workers all along the supply chain as much as I would like. I didn't have anymore time to devote to researching the purchase that day. I wonder if there are any American made light bulbs available locally, or if I would have to buy them online... which is not a perfect solution either.
Yes I can't wait until stuff is made elsewhere. :).
I have been looking for a powerstrip not made in China... I haven't found one.
I would've bought the bulbs too... I should've said settling for shit made in China is my last resort :). I don't shop much anymore... it sucks to see stuff you want only to put it back because it's made in China, over and over.
But it brings me great joy to see my grandchildren putting stuff back because it's made in China and choosing other items.
I went back & checked the box of GE bulbs that I bought at Lowe's a year ago (and just used up) were made in Hungary. The Westinghouse bulbs I just bought were made in China. I will just have to look around a bit more when I am shopping for other miscellaneous items to learn what I can about manufacturing.
I did a quick web search after my earlier comment and read that no incandescent bulbs are made in the states anymore, only Sylvania LED and compact florescent - which are so ridiculously toxic with mercury they make no sense as more environmentally responsible than incandescent.
We need DJT & his appointees back cutting regulations for us. When we can once again buy decent affordable incandescent light bulbs made in the states at a mom & pop hardware store, we will know that the world is right side up again.
I just watched Last Man Standing the other day and they were "scoring" some 75w incandescents from a Mom & Pop ;)
