I find myself falling for it all the time, though. It was especially easy to fall for it during Covid, when things were in such short supply. I bought a tv stand from China. It is a huge piece of furniture. It is all wood, I don’t know what kind, but it is wood, but the odor of the finish was so bad that we had to leave it on the porch for a week. I don’t know what people would do if they didn’t have a porch.
True and throw away items make some sense. For example coffee filters. Thing is our local pulp mill went out of the business of making paper. Instead it and other pulp are sent directly to China to produce paper now. That’s the consequence of China.
