I had to break the poor news to my boomers too. They wanted Japanese made computers, not Chinese, and I was forced to wake them up.

This video was so eye-opening and I really applaud Dustin for presenting it so thoughtfully and in a way I hope everyone can appreciate, regardless of their political stance.

So, wait, the chainmail isn't made in America? What's the fucking point?!?

The 🇮🇳 “sources,” correct. These are batch deals. For so many 🇺🇲 chain that the 🇺🇲 manufacturer can't produce, the rest they are forced to buy from 🇨🇳.

Thanks for sharing this. What's funny is he didn't even mention another reason why buying one higher quality item is better than dozens of cheap one: ressource usage and pollution.

The product they designed is supposed to be disposable, since it's essentially a scrubber🧽.
The chain⛓️ only lasts so many scraps, and then the screw🔩 breaks down. I don't even keep my toilet🚽🧽 after a month~. It's too unsanitary at that point.
