"These lights are a mess!" "Throw them out, and we'll get new ones! They're cheap!" "Oh, sure! Just send to China for more!" "You're not going to start, are you?" "When did I stop?!"
I understand Arlo’s “rant”. But I wonder if he really thinks anyone in the US would want to be employed at $5/hour making Christmas lights— or if there would be enough workers available to take those jobs. Or if Americans would want to pay probably $50 per light string instead of $10 or less, in order for US workers to be paid a decent wage to make them, assuming we somehow did have enough people to take jobs like that. There— that’s MY “rant”, I guess!
