I was able to travel to St. Louis MO. this week to visit my family. I learned early that you need to put extra effort in maintaining contact with friends and relatives. I was born before the computer age and felt it was just a fad. At this time it appears to be one of the cheapest and most effective forms to communicate and maintain ties with family and friends.
My family is involved in small scale manufacturing in America. The company they own will soon be 100 years old. The discussion at the dinner table was centered on one division of the company that manufactured childrens toys. The company will no longer be able to produce American made toys and after the new law was explained to me I believe there will soon be no American manufacturing. Everyone should be able to remember the bad publicity Mattel recieved when most of its cheap chicom manufactured toys turned out to be contaminated with lead. Mattel when presented with lemons was able to make lemonade. There is now a law that states all toys will have to have exhaustive testing done every 6 months. There is no certification process that exempts previously tested toys. The manufacturer will have to continously test the toys every six months at a cost of approximately 6 thousand dollars per toy. This will work to destroy any incentive to build toys in the USA.
If anyone does not see this as a precedent to destroy the companies that have been able to hang on against slave labor, unfair trade practices, and corrosive government controls please continue to read.
Mattel was able to secure exemptions for their toys, I am sure there will be plenty of QUISLINGS who will not feel any quilt for their part in the destruction of the American way of life. Please do not buy products manufactured in Communist China.
Remember everything you do in this life has consequences, sometimes you will have to do things that are difficult. If you cannot do the simple,small things now, how will you muster the courage to fight against the inevitable horrors that will soon stare you in the face.
I will never buy Mattel products and I implore you to do the same.
