As long as people continue to buy cheap merchandise, stuff won't be made in USA!! It cost 15% more to be made in USA

I bought a winter coat in Shakey town, 1977.
North Face down reversible, waterproof/orange safety. $180. Lots of winters & ski trips. Has some dirt, but warmest ever at night below zero and cool during the day up to 30. Did I get my money’s worth?

The Chinese coat will probably last a couple years. Like eating Chinese food which I love but get hungry after a couple hours.

Back in the day I had year long government paid trip to friendly Southeast Asia. Those were called Bunkers. Lol
Made a fortune that year. $2200.00 with combat pay.

I'd brag too, for that kind of money, my first year with our uncle was $936, $78 per mo.

HD will not be successful if they cannot ink a contract with a shipping company that can dedicate a ship to their services.

From what I understand China has a port that is closed which amounts to 25% of their volume, LA Port just broke 1 million TEU's each month, a first in the free world. (Western Hemisphere)

If you looked at the Union Pacific Stack Trains going by here in the south they cannot be bothered. Last year it was one engine and maybe 20 well cars, half loaded. Instead of the usual 4 AC units and hundreds of double stacked cars daily.

I know. I was a Marine Corp Corporal (E4) Infantry. I can't remember what the rate was. I only know my SSI work history shows 1970 $2200. Like I said that was with $90 a month for combat pay. Thank you for your service Breeze.

As truck drivers, we complained about being a dime a dozen.

Attention on deck this is your captain speaking: point this barge towards Atlanta Georgia in the USA. We'll figure out how to dock there as we go kinda like YRC does things since I admire them & my favorite shade of YELLOW is Swamp Holly Orange.

Funny how they just bought thousands of those intermodal containers before changing there name to back to yellow. Now what paint them orange?

 

[useless]

don't worry .. the paint will start falling or rusting off

You just need to box up and save your stuff. All mine are very warm and very old. Not cheaply made. They call it a Green Deal. I say make manuacturers produce something that last 20 or 30 years like they used to, so it isn't re manufactured 10 times. Much lower carbon footprint.
