sourcing goods in China?Look for me!

And theres me thinking a manger woz sumthing Jesus was born in.....................

Nah, wasn't it something he traveled in . . . ."away in a manger" ??

Did you know that the three wise men were riding in a Honda?

I thought they were in a fire truck?

That too, but the story says "... and then they left in one accord."

Back to the topic: Other than Pet food, toothpaste and now tires . . . what is the problem?

You're kiddin', right? How 'bout: Unfair trade policies (USA), currency manipulation, outsourcing of USA jobs, loss of tax revenues, boot-leg designs.... etc. .... ad nauseum.

What is perceived as being good for corporate America has to be good for the rest of us. The stock market has never been higher (or based on less in the way of brick and mortar or technology). We are at a point right now that China can pull the plug on the US whenever it will be to their advantage.

And we can thank corporate America for funding the election campaigns that made it all possible...

Watch out what you wish for! If you didn't have Chinese goods, you wouldn't have anything to buy. The labor unions in this country drove manufacturers out of business! The unreasonable demands for pay and perks caused our goods to become no expensive that nobody could buy them.

In this hobby, almost everything is being made in China. You don't like the prices now? Then put trade restrictions and tariffs on China and hang on to your hat. You won't be able to afford to stay in this hobby.

Remember, for every item that comes from China, the importer sells it to a distributor. A profit is made which goes into our economy. The distributor sells it to the dealer, the dealer sells it to the modeler. Profits at each step going into our economy. You want to bring our economy down? Simple, screw around with Chinese imports!

Spoken like a trooper... who hasn't had his job outsourced......... yet!
