Got to spend a few hours with my mother in law last night and a few with my mom today. Now get to spend the rest of the day with the greatest woman in my life!
You're a hero in my book.

Introduced into the House on October 23rd, passed on the 26th. 30,000 pages. I'm sure they all read it. NOT.
It was significantly altered 24 hours prior to voting. Look it up, info is available.
It was another perfect storm in a time when fear and uncertainty reigned.

Afina founder Ramon van Meer wanted to see if people would buy a Made-in-USA version of his specialty shower head.
He found it would cost three times as much to produce — and raised the sale price by 85%.
After several days of testing, a total of zero customers bought the USA model.
These types of, made in America, “inflated costs” examples I find humorous. Nations, first world, that, rightfully, place high value on environment, natural resource mining, worker benefits, healthcare, benefits, just to name a few, etc etc
Then as a nation continue to search and outsource cheaper alternatives, other countries, that don’t put a high value on aforementioned, to energize their economy, unfortunately, at the expense of their citizens, environment, resources, etc.
Why is our outrage directed towards the high costs within rather than at the exploitation of 2nd and 3rd world countries?
Keep feeding Amazon and keep b!tching. Perpetual motion.
