Reply #8: it's time to implement a complete halt on imports of ANYTHING from China. It appears

[salguine]

they aren't capable of manufacturing anything—whether it's toys, food, furniture, building materials, etc.—that isn't, as Bill Maher put it, "made out of poison, mud and shit".

I realize that we get so much shit from China that halting all imports would be an earth-shattering change. But maybe if we took stock of everything we get from China, and actually began manufacturing it here ourselves, it might have a beneficial effect. And there are probably still be some very elderly people in America who remember how we once "made things", and might be able to show us how it was done.

Maybe we might put people back to work again. Maybe those people might then have money to spend, and that might help the economy, no?

Of course, the manufacturers in this country would have to pay a decent human wage to these American workers.

Oh...I just heard my whole idea grind to a halt.
