    I can't figure out if it's you guys or the people I work with, but I'm becoming cranky and opinionated.

    I hate to point fingers but I think it's another case of Canadian rambunctiousneess causing disturbancea in the Force.
    Can't prove it (yet) but you know they're up to something. 🤔🤫

    How will they enforce that with the chicoms?

    I have no idea. I am curious on how it plays out though.

    Speaking of chinacoms and Chinazon, you guys might like this. One of the dudes I work with mentioned this term the other week. It originated with platforms and online services, I believe, but is extending to pretty much every other large business and corp. Good skim, and something I'd like to read up on some more. Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze - invent value where there is non, and squeeze some more. Discard, and repeat. Acquisitions and destruction of healthy competition are likely in there somewhere, too.

    I sheepishly admit that I continue to support Chinazon. Aside from groceries and local hardware store needs, it's pretty much my first and only stop for everything else. My area's just never really supported a lot of the stuff I'm into, and merch and goods have not been readily available, so I started using them back in the mid to late 00s, I think. Years back Amazon really seemed pretty decent. Now they're enshittified, and we A shoppers are pretty much just building China by using it.

    Most the goods sold by local stores are also made in China, so you'd be supporting them even without Amazon.
    Most things just aren't made in the USA anymore.

    You know what I mean though - direct sellers on Amazon.

    When I bought my L800’s there was an option to register them online and have the warranty increased to 10 years for them.

    Hey, that's the same warranty thing HVAC manufacturers do!

    Occasionally, you find something on Amazon that is actually made in the USA.
    I bought this a couple years back. Better than all the fancy ones.

    I have a pair of these, they are built like a tank, and work very good!

    I can really appreciate a nice one of those. I remember struggling with worn out ones. I think I bought my current one in the late 90s. Still using it, though I have to scrub the rust off from time to time, and put in a little oil.
