    I had to break the poor news to my boomers too. They wanted Japanese made computers, not Chinese, and I was forced to wake them up.

      This video was so eye-opening and I really applaud Dustin for presenting it so thoughtfully and in a way I hope everyone can appreciate, regardless of their political stance.

      Thanks for sharing this. What’s funny is he didn’t even mention another reason why buying one higher quality item is better than dozens of cheap one: ressource usage and pollution.

        The product they designed is supposed to be disposable, since it’s essentially a scrubber🧽.
        The chain⛓️ only lasts so many scraps, and then the screw🔩 breaks down. I don’t even keep my toilet🚽🧽 after a month~. It’s too unsanitary at that point.

            Emojis are our gift to you westerners. What are you confused about?

            Please don’t tell me you reuse your toilet bowl scrubber forever.

              Pfft. The ancient Egyptians first created emojis.

            You use the word “AI” like right wingers use “woke”. It’s not a good look.

        The 🇮🇳 “sources,” correct. These are batch deals. For so many 🇺🇲 chain that the 🇺🇲 manufacturer can’t produce, the rest they are forced to buy from 🇨🇳.
