I remember 2 years ago when I needed a new garden hose

The local Bunnings hardware store had plenty.
90% of them Made in China
As youse all know, Gusman tries his best to avoid, Made in China.
There were Australian owned companies selling garden hoses but they were Made in China
I bought a Garden Hose that was not Made in China
It was Made in Italy.
Twice the price of the Garden Hose Made in China but Gusman says, buy stuff not Made in China

Lots go into garden hoses now. Warranties are usually the indicator of just how good they are. Too hard to say if you got your money's worth without a warranty. Yeah China is cheap. And likely no warranty at all. No idea about Italy. Who knows it might be made with stuff from china. Just put together in Italy.🤷🏻‍♂

We are in a global economy. That requires a different method of thinking.
