Today I went to purchase three items at the Lowe's home improvememt store

a machete, a branch lopper, and a mailbox.

I looked everywhere but could not find anything that was manufactured in the US. The only products available were all, every single one, made in China. The products were cheap, plastic, inferior products.

I had little choice but to purchase these products.

I could not believe how sad this made me.

I don't think a primitive should be allowed to purchase two of those three things, as they can be weapons to attack decent and civilized people.

One can't trust the primitives.

Anyway, the axeing primitive is missing the point.

Because of the demand for cheap goods, well, one gets what one pays for.

1. Similar story last year

We has a little money and wanted to get a set of drawers. Hard enough to get made in the US, IMPOSSIBLE to get in solid wood. I was beginning to wonder if I'd have to make it myself.

3. If you have any ACE or True Value hardware stores, they tend to carry more

American made products. Don't get me wrong, they carry plenty of Chinese crap too, and of course you pay a little more, but I've found better equipment at these stores.

Of course.  Ace Hardware is the greatest.  I buy my cookware, dinnerware, small kitchen appliances, gardening tools, Christmas gifts, birthday presents, bath towels, cat litter boxes, &c., &c., &c., at Ace Hardware, made in America stuff but at cheap imported goods prices.

It could very well be that this is the least "made in China" home in America.

6. I wonder if there is actually a great deal more demand for US made products than we are led to believe. Frickin Walmart.

No, there isn't, and especially among the primitives demanding cheap goods.

Has anyone here ever been in a primitive house?  I have.

11. Home Depot's CEO recently suggested dems "should be shot"

http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/63716-home-depot-ceo-a-ce...

It's a wonderful country the U.S. has turned into, a torturous, spying, election-rigging, bailout of fascists, lie factory.

Oh my.

I went to the link to see if what the stool specimen primitive said is true, given that primitives lie about the contents of links they post, but alas it's a sound video.  Can anyone here with ears take a look, and confirm if the guy actually said that?

5. I just took a look around the kitchen......NOTHING made in the USA. 

Not the coffeemaker, dishes, microwave.....Nothing.

And I'll bet they're all cheap goods, too, because the marmalade primitive's too tight to buy quality products.

14. The last time I had to buy a pair of end-nippers, I bought Channellock

A fine product, manufactured close to home in Meadville, PA.

Well, the good people at Lowe's no longer stock this item. Instead, they offer a similar product made in China. And it costs $2.00 more.

Channellocks are great, the best pliers in the world.  Wouldn't have any other.

But with all these primitives running around demanding cheap goods.....

16. Every now and again, I post the "look around" challenge .....

..... I pick a room and then suggest people look around and try to find anything less than a few years old that was made in the USA.

The list is always very small.

And getting smaller.

Hmmm.  One suspects the sparkling husband primitive, who didn't make the cut for the runners-up of the Top 10 DUmmies of 2008, has a house--and many rental units--chock full of cheap goods.

And here we get a nice little stretchy, primitives putting words into the mouths of small children:

17. my 6 year old niece is CONSTANTLY walking around looking...at where things are made

sometimes we play a game while i'm cooking and she's hanging out in the kitchen with me: she starts looking at things - refrigerator magnets, utensils, stools, toothpick dispenser, whatever - trying to find something "Made in USA". i count, and we see how long it takes

she asks regularly "how come everything is made in China?" in this totally exasperated voice

i've told her it's because there are a LOT of people in China and they make a LOT of stuff so they can make money because our country decided to buy their stuff instead of making our own

she said "how come we don't make our own? then we could keep the money!"

so i don't know what floors me more - that at 6 yoa, it even DAWNS on her to think about where things are made...or how easily she sees the solution when so many in charge don't

24. An observation:

makes me wonder...

User name: burythehatchet

buying a machete and a branch lopper...

If you had included a hundred square feet of plastic drop cloth, duct tape and bleach I would begin to wonder what the mailbox was REALLY for.

Yeah, franksolich wonders about that too.

28. The quality of Made in China crap has gotten worse-it's hard to believe it's possible but it is.

I have noticed the difference quite distinctly with many products this past year from clothing to small appliances to garden tools to even something as cheap as a shower curtain.

The quality is so bad that I didn't bother replacing our broken microwave that was less than a year old. I also ended up buying a Mr. Coffee cheapo coffee maker because it was NO different than the more expensive Braun coffee maker that I had planned on buying until I saw how crappy it was.

It's bad. Real bad.

It's bad because the golden rude primitive's looking for cheap goods.

And the Perry Como primitive, the chronically unemployed fat one:

31. I've got lots of old and very solid kitchen stuff.

I have lots of Corning Ware, made in Corning, NY.

Pyrex, made by Corning.

Stainless steel pots made in the USA.

Table Dinnerware made in the U.S.A. Syracuse is still making china for restaurants.

I got two sterling silver bell Christmas ornaments with the Wallace and Towle name on them--old American brands, and they were both made in China.

The handles. The moron could have always went to a cutlery shop to get one made in the US, and with a more durable handle, but it would have cost him probably 10 times what he paid. He's just looking for something to be pissed off about so he can bring it to the DUmp and give all the other DUmbasses a reason to be pissed off. I guess the idiots use it, and things like it, as a way to blame their failures on something else, other than themselves.

But you know, the prospect of a primitive running loose with a machete is, uh, rather disturbing.

The only decent machetes are Ontario Knife ones.  Easy to find on-line through survival and shooting sports retailers, but not carried by any major hardware retailer because you have to pay a quality price to get a quality product, and they cost four times what the cheap, lightweight, and utterly useless ones carried by hardware/building/big-box stores do.  Also the only place you can find the heavy-duty milsurp green plastic sleeves to replace cheap-ass cloth scabbards.

A machete made in America would probably cost $500.00 because of union dues, union wages and liability insurance.

Coach, all the file was was the "young Turk" idiot "quoting" the Home Depot CEO.  Said idiot (different from a primitive, in that he hasn't proved himself worthy to be a primitive--yet) just read from a sheet of paper, as opposed to having the sound of said CEO actually saying the quote in question.

What a douchebag the "quoter" is.  In the future, if said douchebag is going to make such an accusation, he should have the audio of the quote--it makes him more credible in the eyes of the world.

I got a most excellent American-made machete off of CheaperThanDirt a couple of years ago. Has a serrated back edge for sawing through the larger branches (or bones... mwahaha) that a stiff swing won't take care of. Even came with a really nice rubber sheath. (Keeps the blood stains at bay)

edit: Reading posts further up, I believe it is an Ontario.. so maybe it's Canadian-made, close enough I guess, North American-made.

I got a chuckle out of that. :-)

And you're right... Ace Hardware is the best.  I've been to every automotive and hardware store within ten miles since I bought that motorcycle and I have never had a problem finding exactly what I needed at Ace.  The rest of them are an overpriced, understocked waste of time.  I'm convinced Advanced Auto should be renamed "The floor mat, shitty wheel cover, and cardboard air freshener store".

While I really like Duke's answer, I'd have to say in the Nebraska Sandhills, "Not much."  In the primrose-choked mountain stream gorges of the Ozarks where I live, though, lots.  A good point-heavy machete, in the 20"+ range (like an Ontario or some of the Cold Steel numbers), is an excellent tool for working one's way through even the densest overgrowth of thorny rose, berry, greenbriar etc. vines.  They are great for backpacking, being lighter and far more versatile than a hatchet but able to chop up anything a hatchet could handle...invaluable for the woodsman or primitive camper.

Clearing away underbrush, clearing trails through the woods, or other things like that.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
