| I have a friend who deals in used tools. Storefront business. Chinese crap he blows out real cheap, on his shelves are Mac, Matco, Snap-On. I try to buy American or at least western hemisphere and European items whenever possible.

Helpful hint: If you're going to negotiate, start by demanding more than you owe. That leaves you a little wriggle room, and it helps you make sure that you don't leave any money on the table. |

| They seem to do everything half assed and we put up with it. quote: Medical workers share concerns about masks delivered by Patriots plane
"Rather, they were a Chinese version known as a KN95 mask that some hospitals in Boston and beyond have so far declined to use and remain reluctant about today." https://www.bostonglobe.com/20...d-by-patriots-plane/

Also to mention that the two main brands, (Nissin & Maruchan) that most associate ramen noodles with, are both made in the USA. |
