It hurts, but I am walking out on some companies with whom I used to do business.

@AbbeyRhode I just wish we had many more manufacturing companies that were located in the USA or Mexico. Anything imported from China and purchased only furthers their agenda.

@cherokeepatti True, sometimes it's near impossible to find things not made in China.

@AbbeyRhode I found some microfiber bras that were made in Honduras last summer and they were well-made, was very pleased that they weren’t made in China. We could have all kinds of manufacturing plants in Mexico and Latin America if the drug cartels are contained well enough. And give people jobs there and good reasons to stay there.

@AbbeyRhode we also need to take care of our own recycling materials and use those materials here to make new things instead of shipping them back to China in the empty cargo containers while the cargo ships are going back to China. They don’t have the resources such as trees to make their own cardboard and paper to supply the cardboard manufacturers there to make boxes to ship stuff in. That’s just one example. And we need to reuse our own plastics and metals too.

@cherokeepatti You are correct! Honduras has been in apparel business for many years and very high quality. One of my best friends is a lady from Honduras and her father was a Governor there. She also married another best friend of mine. We are very close and share the same birthday. She is the most loveliest woman and very angelic.

@Oster1 well I hope that they send more things of that quality over here. I want to buy stuff that is durable and fits well like that. I also hope we can get fabric made there and imported here for sewing and craft work. I hate buying anything from China.
