I saw part of the shovel thread, and then last night got into a FB discussion with my son and one of his GOP friends about whether it is the fault of the workers or the consumers that most of what's for sale in the US is cheaply made crap from China, etc. As soon as I pointed out that neither workers nor consumers have the power to move factories to China, and then my son mentioned that it isn't Chinese companies producing the cheap crap but rather US companies with factories in China, the "friend" stopped posting.

You bring up a really good point, too, about the consignee having to put the leftovers in storage until next year. The coffee shop I'm referring to has been putting out some of the same ornaments for the past 5 or 6 years! Not a very good ROI.

Oh, and what kind of woodworking do you do?
