I often wondered why the refrigerator in my grandma's house was still working after 50+ years when Helene finally took it out and I can't buy one that works one day after the warranty expires.
It's cheap plastic crap made by child slave labor, thank you.
I'm good with less access to crap. What a stupid chapter of buying stuff from the other side of the world... IDK what's going on in the background, I don't know if this is all theatre and was decided a long time ago?
But I do know the sooner we build our communities up and take care of each other, the better.
Thanks, SJ for your direct and humorous take. Best to you. 💕
I am sure that Hobby Lobby is having a cow. Who knows?? I do feel like so much is theater and unreal. Just unreal. And we are ants. Thanks K...best to you toooooo.♥
Great essay - and I totally agree. I Loathed what corporate American manufacturers did to our "proudly made in America" capabilities--starting in the late 1970's onward. So many of the clients (manufacturers) on whom I called as a sales rep in the southcentral part of PA closed their plants and moved offshore or sold their "goodwill" to Chinese factories. Enough of the China crap indeed - did you know the Chinese people get a different quality of products (superior quality versus what they ship to the USA and other countries) because they wouldn't accept the crap that we've been "wallowing" in for almost 50 years!
Trump is doing what NO OTHER POTUS ever even ATTEMPTED TO DO - BRING MANUFACTURING BACK TO THE U.S.A. God protect and enable him and his administration and advisors.
100%. And China is out of control. We have friends in Namibia and they told us that their country gets the t-shirts with 3 arm holes to sell in their stores. All the mistakes are marketed to Africa.
I am enjoying watching The Apprentice. Never watched it before, or cared. But now? Trump is the same as he has always been. The Same. I pray for all the righteous in this nation every day. Because I look up at the sky trails and ensuing sky sludge and also pray the evil people just go away. To a very hot place.
We watched the Apprentice from day one, every episode. Loved it. When Trump came on scene we KNEW that moment we were behind him. And we haven’t wavered. He’s not perfect. But I spent the obummer years telling my hubs that we need a business man running the USA not these political hacks. Buckle up it’s a wild ride. 🙌
I can’t help but think Amazon prime is headed out the door too! Good riddance. And I use it for convenience for SOME things. It wouldn’t bother me one bit to see them take their Chyna crap and disappear! Let’s throw in Walmart, Target and all the rest too. Inconvenience might just help save our nation and way of life. Back to good ole days. I’m good with it. Modern conveniences have helped destroy our kids and their ability to learn critical thinking and problem solving skills. It’s dumbed us all down.
As for tariffs? Bring it! I’m ok with the bumps and bruises we might have along the way. Stock up. Figure out what a NEED is vs a want and learn to do without!
We have SO much stuff here in America. I use Amazon for not clothes....just stuff I can't get around here. It is a way of life. I was one of Netflix's first customers when we would order 3 rental DVDs in the mail and watch and return because we live so far away from anything. If I don't have it by now, I don't need it!!
You nailed it. We have tons of STUFF we don’t even use or need.
I was just thinking that Amazon would do well to put a priority on stuff made in the USA. When I search for something I look to see where it comes from. 9/10 Chyna! When I put in the search bar “made in the USA” whatever….everything comes from Chyna still. Their business model moving forward should be to prioritize American made products and to create their algorithms to do so.
Remember when Sam Walton still had his hands on Wal Mart and it was all made in America??
And re; The Apprentice. During the shots on NYC and the sky, I am seeing chem trails now that I am aware of them. And this show is 20 years old. Thank God for God because otherwise I would have no peace!
And yes to the Chemtrails going on for much, much, much longer than we ever knew!!!
I was thrilled as I drove through Georgia yesterday to see blue skies and not 1 chemtrail!!! I found myself wishing heavily we could return to those days. And without God there is NO peace. I agree!!!

Exactly. My parents fridge lasted 40 years.
