No argument there. Probably many more reasons than that to clean the clocks of a fair number of them.

I'd rather buy stuff from China than support "American Made" in such a case. In fact I could make the argument that buying finished goods exclusively from China and boycotting US corporations could actually be more beneficial to the US economy over the long term.

To be clear, I don't buy something solely because it's "Made in USA", I'm not so superficial. But if everyone buys foreign, I don't suppose we can bitch too much when we discover we don't actually make anything here anymore, and everything is of shitty quality....kind of where we are now, unfortunately.

The American corporations, chili_pepper, they tried to turn me into a gay homo. I'll never forget that.

Not sure if I follow you there, but I'll take your word on it.

As a potentially slightly humorous aside, "gay homo" may qualify as a double negative, essentially equating to straight.

Don't you remember a few years ago? All the corporations were pushing the homo agenda. Trying turn us all gay I guess for some unclear reason. They all blended their corporate logos with the anal flag. It was sickening. It seems to have ended when Trump won the election in 2024. I'm willing to bet he told them to knock it off. No Chinaman ever tried tricking me into doing sodomy, that I can tell you.

Honestly, other than something about a beer brand supporting some dude that wanted to be a woman, I don't recall much else....but I also don't pay much attention to that shit, either. And I don't think the wokies have given up, probably just regrouping for another coup d'état attempt. Not the brightest folks, but fiercely determined to stick their agenda, erm, in your orifices, none the less.

I feel like that kind of thing is the "shiny set of car keys" they use to distract the organ grinder monkey masses so no one pays attention to the more nefarious shit they're doing.

I would like to say with confidence that no one, Chinese or otherwise, has ever tried to trick me into doing sodomy....but maybe I don't get out enough...

These were on the list to buy before the Klein showed up.

If $12 for the Klein shocks you, don't look at the Knipex price.

This was corporate America two years ago:

Don't feel bad about buying Chinese.

love my Klein stuff , had that been an option two years ago , would have bought 3

I view this similarly to companies that make claims about how green they are, it's mostly if not entirely marketing bullshit to win favor. Makes it look like they care.

And you could have.

I quite like my Knipex tools as well, so can't knock 'em. Just not sure why those little guys carry the price tag they do.

The difference is, protecting the environment is a good thing; sodomy is wicked.
At best you know the corporate execs in America have no moral compass.
China bans sodomy btw.

Probably for the same reason US made is more expensive than China made. Germany companies pay their labor force more than US companies do.

Yeah, but that's the bullshit part of it, they aren't really doing much green stuff, just hyping the shit out of what little they actually do. And on that, carbon offsetting is joke.

Feralkid said:

Indeed, and I've held that view for a long time now. But it's getting kind of obvious these days, so much so the blind can see it...

Among many things, apparently.

This is dumb logic.

And unless you’re denise richards reenacting the starship troopers shower scene I’m not watching, so live your best life.

Indeed. One of those movies they probably wouldn't/couldn't make anymore...and yes, that is "Booger"
