Good quality face masks. About $26 for 5. Good ultra light camping equipment as well.

- ok - is it SPAM or is it not? - I will leave it for the membership to decide -

- because its made in America - should I be kinder about it - than if it was made in China (or elsewhere?)

Its most definitely spam, let's just save the space and turn it into another trump hate or coronavirus thread.

 

[Gypsy Nirvana]

Hmmm - I'd rather not - seems to be a dearth of them already - so maybe it will evolve into something more engrossing?

- that may be moot anyway - since if it is spam - then it has to go to The Recycle Bin -

Maybe technically spam, but since its not a new account created for that purpose, and since its relevant to the situation we are all facing, and since the poster is unlikely to be the seller, I'd be inclined to let it go.

Yeah - might be PC to let it slide - for the common good - or something -

Let's make it a corona virus resource thread.
For those who don't fancy a hospital bed, probably made in China but sold from London

Wow that's a big link

Shipping more than the product which is is US dollars and... shipped by Fedex = must pay duties. Pass! It comes to $12 per mask. At that price it better perform sexual favours. Prior to the outbreak I-95 mask were going for $0.06 pc (bulk mind you)

I thought of that after posting. I apologize for that. Disclosure. I have bought a backpack and a tarp from them on sale.

They’re a small company that has brought jobs to their area. Rebooted a fabric manufacturing plant.

I should have maybe left America out of the title. The idea is homegrown industries basically started in ones garage. As always these threads drift.
All countries welcome. What small industries have you?

Also this is in response to those claiming they would buy domestic, if they could find it. They can if they search.

I thought it was a good jester on their part.

I did and supported MY local economy. BTW, I don't shop at Walmart!

- yeah - it does look like us Western nations need to get our manufacturing/production businesses back - and working in our nations - particularly for essential items - like food - medicine and clothing - to supply our own needs at least - all the gadgets and toys can come later - once we get the basics covered -

it would be nice. but...i do not believe there is the collective will to do the hard things needed for it to happen. i'm afraid that the American people as a whole are utterly addicted to the lowest price. you cannot produce an equivalent price product here simply because the pay for the work needed will not be there. i drive right past WalMart & go pay more elsewhere. does the average American? look at WalMarts parking lots...

Elsewhere for me is Safeway. The fruit stand closed. I think they got their fruit from the same source anyway.

These are just merchants. Resellers. Nothing is produced. There is no innovation. No jobs created. Just money changing hands with unnecessary markups. Middle men with money to invest after your earnings.
