Yet she is forming a House committee to oversee pandemic spending.

Thanks for the responses. As a consumer I will make an effort to buy products made outside of China. But as R Rob and B Gal eluded to, we as consumers are small players in the international trade game. The China trade deal is the big elephant in the room. Nice example, there are definitely spenders and savers. I fall into the saver category. Made my own work lunches most days, Brewed my own coffee (I can't do the math waiting 15 minutes and paying for a Dutch Bros coffee). Always tried to have have that 3-6 month cushion after I got a job with benefits. Never got a home equity loan to buy toys. But I digress...

So this has been mentioned in numerous threads and I think it deserves its own thread. When this pandemic is over do you really want to buy merchandise made in China? Will China still be undercutting the market value? Will those struggling from the economic downturn have a choice? Will buyers be able to truly identify the origin of their purchase? I have a family member that has boycotted LL Bean since they stopped making their product in Maine. Appreciate your thoughts and insight,

That I now need to ignore BillZtime AND BillStime. Coincidence?

Exactly, which is why I linked his clown show soundboard.

Day after day Alone on a hill The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still But nobody wants to know him They can see that he's just a fool And he never gives an answer But the fool on the hill Sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head See the world spinning 'round Well on the way Head in a cloud The man of a thousand voices Talking perfectly loud But nobody ever hears him Or the sound he appears to make And he never seems to notice But the fool on the hill Sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head See the world spinning 'round And nobody seems to like him They can tell what he wants to do And he never shows his feelings But the fool on the hill Sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head See the world spinning 'round Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 'Round and 'round and 'round and 'round and round And he never listens to them He knows that they're the fools They don't like him The fool on the hill Sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head See the world spinning 'round

Good stuff Maynard.

When he says "I'm not gong to answer that question" he should just shut up and move on. Never argue with a fool.

Realistically, who is going to rob a home in Texas when the owner is home eating ribs, drinking beer and cleaning their gun? Now closed down businesses is another thing.

And just like that nationalism has become a worldwide emergency.

Give or take 100,000...

Lots of good ones in this thread. I'd like to add Art Carney.

All over again. (couldn't resist)

After further review you are correct sir.

I've learned to like Cleveland watching them in Spring Training in Goodyear. (Grew up a Yankees and Reds fan). Got a Chief Wahoo t-shirt the last year they were PC. Also my Chief Wahoo shot glass is right there with my Bills shot glass. See we can coexist ? Yankees on the radio on the road while the Mets were at Shea on tv.

Now you did it! I miss the Yankees.

Well he did come in 3rd for Governor of Oklahoma with 18% of the vote. /smh
