Wonder what a bunker buster could do there?

Thanks Wal-Mart

[calmus]

Hahaha.  They should put up a big Wal-Mart sign next to that.  So Chavez, have you figured out a way how to live China-free yet?

What do you buy that is chinese?

[Knowledge]

Well almost everything is made from china, even if it is american made I would be willing to bet that some materials to build whatever it may be came from there. Correct?

I'm pretty sure my laptop has a lot of Chinese parts.  My car is Japanese, but I'm sure a lot of the parts come from China.  Some of my workout crap is from China.  Some of my ski gear.  Pretty much everything that has metal parts in it (my treadmill and elliptical) are all probably from China.

my car is german, computer definitely has a chinese parts in it. cell phone too

razors are probably chinese. runners were probably made in a sweatshop in cambodia lol

[calmus]

German car probably has a lot of chinese parts too.  It's just more cost-effective.

Also, probably the steel that's in the walls.... from china. It's a fairly new building.

so far so good but I haven't had to buy anything big yet.  One day I totally lucked out.  Went shopping and forgot to look at labels.  I thought, oh shit.  Looked at the labels thinking I bought all China but not 1 item.  All India, Mexico, Honduras and the US

yea maybe, but at least it means some clown here still has a job for now and just maybe if enough people buy from those remaining companies, they won't find they need to bail to be competitive.  I'm not on one of those boycott China things, nobody does that shit.  It's just me

I bet you the tags were sewn/glued on the merchandise in China.
