Tried to use my Amazon special toaster this morning and it was broken. Bought it in May or June.

When I was growing up, junk was usually from Japan or Taiwan. Something broke and you looked at the bottom and said, "no wonder, it's made in Japan." By the 1980s all that had changed and even Japanese cars were better or equal to American.

Once Walmart and Amazon became a world force basically EVERYTHING was made in China. Something like 90,000 cargo ships are floating around.

Look at almost any product that had a very good history is now made in China and has extremely spotty customer reviews. (although the reviews are probably bogus anyways).

It's not that China can't make great products, (see iPhone) but for some reason EVERYTHING is meant to be landfill in 3 years and a lot of the stuff can't even make that.

And now my coffee is cold. DAMMIT

End of rant.
