First they poison our pets.
Then they poison our kids with lead paint.
Next is baby formula with melamine in it.
Food contaminated with toxic chemicals.
Now its drywall.
Drywall that’s causing insurers to pull coverage if they find out the house has drywall from China in it, because of the additional claims it causes. Drywall from China was used during the housing boom because it was abundant & cheap. Now come the problems with it. Insurers are cancelling policies, or sending out non-renewal notices, with all of it being legal. They are denying claims as a construction issue, which it is. Suits against the builders are slow going. Once there’s no coverage on the houses, the leinholders will call the loans due. More houses will go into foreclosure because they can’t be lived in.
When will it all end? Has nobody learned anything yet? If it comes from China, yeah it’s cheap but it can cost you dearly in the long run. What is the point? How many people have to be made sick by something from China? How many pets do we have to lose because people don’t want to spend the money on food made under safe conditions? How many kids have to suffer the long term effects of lead poisoning because people don’t look for a country of origin?
The grocery store I shop at stopped carrying fish that originated in China because nobody would buy it. If people would get their intelligence working & do the same with anything else that comes from there, the junk would stop being brought in.
I would ask when the branch of the government will do something, but the rules are so lax, all their power has been stripped. Give the agencies that are charged with protection of the U.S. citizens the power & the authority they need to do the job & stop Chinese garbage from coming here.
BUY AMERICAN, PEOPLE!
