Today's Entry Drywall with updates on 11 April
Drywall. Gypsum board. Sheet rock. You may know it under other names, but most of us know what it is, it is part of the system of the walls in your home, and, probably, your office, church, and the like. Places where people are. Some pretty good makers in this country, names like US Gypsum, Certainteed, Georgia-Pacific and others.
But, alas!, someone decided to bring some in from the ChiComs. Nothing like enriching the People's Liberation Army, the ''silent partner'' in so many of these ventures. With predictable results. Those who were complicit in the slaughter of some 67,000,000 of their fellow countrymen will not quibble about safety for a bunch of gwailos in the US.
And so we have this. People in the US seeing damage in their residences as a result of the fumes given off by ChiCom gypsum board. Good article here.
How's that Globalism doing? Still think that Free Trade is always good??

While I loathe CNN, you know the story about a blind pig. Here's their story on it.\

Updated 11 April. An AP story in the Washington Examiner on the same issue.
Perhaps this story has ''legs'', perhaps some people are starting to realize the extent of the issue.
While there is plenty of blame to go around, my 'favorite' villains (after the Democrat Party, the AFL-CIO, and other boils on the nation's butt) are the MBA's and CPA's that have far far too much influence in most companies. They've done more damage than several earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and hurricanes combined.
Yes, the ChiComs do this all the time. Tell me again, please, why we buy anything from these murderous heathen illegitimati.

More Mexican Candy
Milton Hershey would be spinning in his grave.
Seems that Hershey is shutting down another U.S. plant, this one in Reading, Pennsylvania, and moving it to Monterrey, Mexico. Monterrey is one of those ''armpits of the world'' places. Hope you really like all those NAFTA Peppermint Patties and 5th Avenue bars that are to be made there. You can have them, but I won't be buying them. Not even one.
Hershey used to be a great outfit and the products were great. I will not buy them any more, not any.
Here's the link.

More On Candy From Mexico (that you thought was American)
For once, USA Today had a semi-good story here. Subject is candy. A rather topical story, it being Valentine's Day and all, and a lot of us, wishing to stay married and intact, sought the candy route.
Guess most people thought that Hershey candy was still made in Hershey, PA. It isn't, it's gone the Mexico route. Thanks, NAFTA.
And Brach's, which moved there in 2003.
And they are not alone.
In some ways, I can't blame them. A good bit of the reason, I hear, is the cost of sugar. Seems the the sugar cartel (probably not an entirely accurate term, but not totally inaccurate either) has purchased enough votes in the Congress to ensure that foreign sugar has such high tariffs that the cost per pound of sugar in the US is about twice that in the rest of the world. Sugar, obviously, and the price thereof, is a major concern of candy makers. Mexico is a bit more sensible.
By the way, the next time some nitwit starts to grumble about the use of high fructose corn syrup as a sweetener, now you know why so many food processors prefer to use it: it's less expensive. This is what happens when you get the federal government involved in trading votes for cash and being involved in matters that are, strictly speaking, NONE of the federal government's business.

More ChiCom junk - Virii in photo frames
Story is here in SF Gate, Popular photo frames carry risk of infection, a story of ChiCom products that have the potential that, when either directly plugged into your PC or if you are using a flash drive back and forth, to infect your PC.
Don't you just love what the butchers of Tien An Men Square continue to provide us?

An Overlooked One -- Fake ChiCom medical items
I know this is an old one, dating to 2007 in fact. But I'd overlooked it, until my Beloved Elder Daughter was diagnosed with Insulin-Resistant Diabetes. She has to test a LOT. To find that the test strips, some sold under the Johnson & Johnson label, were fakes put out by the same evil butchers that gave us Tien An Men Square, is a shock.
I will remember this the next time some flak is reciting all the benefits of unlimited global free trade. Only works, when it works at all, when morals and standards are equal. Clearly, this is not the case with the ChiComs.
