This is a consumerism problem, not a political problem. American consumers demand certain products at certain price points and don't give a frick where it comes from.

That is what I'm hearing. I have over 2 million pounds of fiberglass on order and we are just getting in stuff a little at a time that was due in here in January. The domestic side isn't much better.

If only there were a country on this side of the ocean where we could manufacture products so we wouldn't be dependent on Chi na for goods.


I was thinking Mexico too!

Build more manufacturing centers in the US, Mexico, and Canada. Then truck it around where you need it.

Highways are unsafe. We need reliable, affordable and environmentally friendly modes of transportation like rail.

Would be nice if we started manufacturing our needs here again so we didn't need to worry about waiting in line behind Asian markets (who I don't blame for prioritizing themselves).


This should be the talking point. This and our consumerism habits period. Won't be, but it should be.

People in America right now who don’t have a job don’t want a job. Why should they work? The government provides everything they need and much more.

frick em


Except for Japan. You're cool now, everybody else can frick off.

Except maybe south Korea too, they make some decent films at times and don't seem to like north Korean leadership.

Haven't made up my mind on Hong Kong yet though..that walled city was a badass kumite setting. But its gone now..so yeah, go ahead and frick them too.

Well, all that Asian crawfish that used to come over can't get over here. This reduces supply. And you know what that does to prices!
