Almost everything in Harbor Freight (except for the reconditioned
DeWalt tools) is from China. The stuff is garbage and usually dies
after a short period of time. Grinders and drills come with extra
electric motor brushes which almost always get lost by the time you
need them - and you will. HF always tries to sell you an extended
warranty program, and most people I know don't buy them - even though
for all intents and purposes, if you buy the EW, you can bring back
the tool and swap it for a new one anytime the older one doesn't
work. So other than the time you lose always gong to HF to exchange
tools, that does seem like a good deal. How can American companies
compete with that?

But I was talking to two buddies of mine and then mentioned something
about the construction trades which made me wonder if any more tools
are going to be made in the USA?

One guy works as a stone mason and he is finding it harder and harder
to find American made tools of his trade in the stores. The
Chinese-made crap (his words) are cheaply made, don't hold up to
continued professional work, rivets pop, everything rusts unless you
soak it in oil (which is not good for the mortar or cement, mason's
hoes break after one use, etc.

The other guy runs a catering truck that runs around to construction
sites. He says that, except for the licensed trades (electricians and
who are mostly younger white guys), the plumber (who are mostly older
white guys) and the bricklayers (who are mostly African American) -
everybody else is Mexican and they almost only speak Spanish and need
a bi-lingual supervisor on the job. This supervisor - who is not
dressed out for work - usually stands around talking on his cell
phone, looking at his steel and gold Rolex watch - is a white guy.

Well - the real question is - are any of the largely illegal immigrant
construction workers buying quality American-made tools, or are they
spending as little money as possible on tools as they might either get
them stolen from a job site, or because they might get deported at any
time and don't want to have any more money invested in tools than
absolutely necessary?




Trade protectionist!!!! Why do you hate Amerika?? Damned liberal whacko!!!!

I don't hate America. I love America. I just wonder why fascist
assholes like you continue to support trade policies set by big
corporations designed to rob American workers of hard won wage and hour
and workplace health and safety laws that ultimately will lead to the
destruction of the middle class.

You don't love America. I'll bet you are on public assistance or are a fag

disagrees with you who has the balls to use their First Ammendment

And as far as being a fag - socioogists have found that white men who
are very homophobic (like you) tend to have the greatest tendencies
towards latent homosexuality. In other words, you tend to hate most the
people you secretly want to emulate. Aren't you glad the US Supreme
Court decriminalized consensual sodomy?

Not if I get to you and your fascist asshole friends first! Do you
really want that little pip GW Bush to install a theoracy in this
country telling you that everythign you do has to hav a moral basis?
How moral is it to cut Social Security to steal money and transfer it to
the rich Wall Street bankers, as well as all the rest of the immoral
crap that Bush is pulling?

extended warranty program, and most people I know don't buy them -
even though for all intents and purposes, if you buy the EW, you
can bring back the tool and swap it for a new one anytime the
older one doesn't work. So other than the time you lose always
gong to HF to exchange tools, that does seem like a good deal.
How can American companies compete with that?

But I was talking to two buddies of mine and then mentioned
something about the construction trades which made me wonder if
any more tools are going to be made in the USA?

One guy works as a stone mason and he is finding it harder and
harder to find American made tools of his trade in the stores.
The Chinese-made crap (his words) are cheaply made, don't hold up
to continued professional work, rivets pop, everything rusts
unless you soak it in oil (which is not good for the mortar or
cement, mason's hoes break after one use, etc.

The other guy runs a catering truck that runs around to
construction sites. He says that, except for the licensed trades
(electricians and who are mostly younger white guys), the plumber
(who are mostly older white guys) and the bricklayers (who are
mostly African American) - everybody else is Mexican and they
almost only speak Spanish and need a bi-lingual supervisor on the
job. This supervisor - who is not dressed out for work - usually
stands around talking on his cell phone, looking at his steel and
gold Rolex watch - is a white guy.

Well - the real question is - are any of the largely illegal
immigrant construction workers buying quality American-made tools,
or are they spending as little money as possible on tools as they
might either get them stolen from a job site, or because they
might get deported at any time and don't want to have any more
money invested in tools than absolutely necessary?








Trade protectionist!!!! Why do you hate Amerika?? Damned liberal
whacko!!!!





I don't hate America. I love America. I just wonder why fascist
assholes like you continue to support trade policies set by big
corporations designed to rob American workers of hard won wage and
hour and workplace health and safety laws that ultimately will lead
to the destruction of the middle class.

Ah, the patriotism is touching but you know what? The US of A is toast.
Has been for 25 years. Why do you think the jobs are going overseas? Can
you say, "One world government"? And who says I'm from the US of A?


Well, since you are posting from a Comcast/Mediacom account you are
pretty much guaranteed to be in the "US of A". As far as your
investments in "fareast stocks" are concerned your message has poser
written all over it.
