Loading ...Ya know?? For decades now our used consumer products are worthless. You see it at garage sales and especially what people throw out on big garbage night. Air conditioners, dehumidifiers, furniture etc. Imagine in the future we can sell our used clothing at garage sales and Craigs list for good money?
A friend told me they went to look at a car for sale. Owners sold the house and moving away. They saw all the contents of the house being loaded into dumpsters. Perfect furniture etc etc.
So? If clothing and all other artificially cheap imported “rat poison” for America gets very expensive? All used crap we have will gain value. And if expensive enough? Its good like “organic foods” textile mills and clothing manufacturers will spring up in the USA. Due to unaffordable imported rat poison.
No pain no gain. When we STARTED importing high quality cheaper imports, it was like starting a smoking, alcohol or cocaine habit. Easy and fun to start, then later on the habit takes its toll, hard to quit, and withdrawal hurts but good.
That’s how I see the USA. 50 years of very bad habits, and after the 2008 crash, Doctor Invisible Hand of capitalism said “You need to quit or you are going to die”. No more rat poison imports, no more nation building in the Middle East.
