Are you posting from 30 years ago? Because of the greed and stupidity of Western governments and companies it is literally impossible to avoid buying China made products.
- eloff 6y agoThe monster we created. You can say all you want about the mistakes and dirty actions of the USA-led world since the end of the second world war, but you're delusional if you think a CCP led world order would be an improvement.
- ddelt 6y ago> " ... if you think a CCP led world world order would be an improvement." I don't think the parent comment suggested anything like what you just said. And I agree with that parent comment, in that I find it amusing mental-floss to imagine how a very-low income family in the US can completely avoid Chinese made products.
- eloff 6y agoI'm using "you" to refer to the reader, not the OP. English can be confusing at times.
- sarakayakomzin 6y ago> I'm using "you" to refer to the reader, not the OP. English can be confusing at times. and no "you" 'the reader' would be dumb enough to interpret the statement like you have. Communication can be confusing at times.
- segfaultbuserr 6y agoI learned to say "one" instead of "you".
- eloff 6y agoYeah, that would have been clearer, I should try that.
- wolco2 6y agoWhat kind of low income family? Family living off the grid in eco-friendly community already does. Farmer family can avoid a lot. Poor family in the city or burbs has few options and can't avoid walmart/dollar stores.

- abc-xyz 6y agoYou don’t need to boycott 100% to be effective. Boycotting 80%, or even 10%, is surely better than doing nothing. I’d also say it’s surprisingly easy to boycott Chinese goods, as well as companies kowtowing to China.
- wolco2 6y agoEasy? Does your list extend to the tech giants whi have kowtowed already?
- agent00f 6y ago> Because of the greed and stupidity of Western governments and companies Interesting how you left out the folks who buy the products in question.
