Reply #7: Duh. Ya think?

WTF did these idiots think when they were paying top dollar to elect the globalization crowd who would allow all our jobs to be shipped overseas? The USA isn't competing with the industrialized west, we're competing with the poorest Chinese worker.

But then we keep getting these products that are worth shit, and who's going to buy that crap? I have money for clothes, but I'm sure as hell not going to spend it on crap that is so flimsy that it will fall apart after one washing. Or shoes that look like the old Chinese cardboard soles, no arch supports, no padding, just cardboard. Screw that shit! I'm NOT paying my hard-earned money on that crap!

Phones (lanlines) don't have decent buttons, and you can't hear out of them. Kleenex fall apart before you even blow your nose! The only thing that is really sturdy and strong are the fucking hard plastic packaging that you can't get into without a goddamned chain saw, and then you tear up whatever is INSIDE the packaging trying to get to it. The only thing that is sturdy is the ONE THING you didn't purchase to use...the packaging! Corporations are so fucking stupid these days. It seems like this whole country has elevated stupid to a whole new level. The way they hand you your change at the register. Who in the hell ever figured that you should put coins ON TOP of the bills? They ROLL OFF!!!! And the receipt should go in the BAG, not on top of the bills!!! Then you have to stand at the register, taking up everyone else's time, while you separate out your change, bills, and receipt, to put them in a manageable place. I hate going shopping anymore.
