Now I'd like to defend a plastic's company, if I might

I'm not against plastic, I think it has many good uses, uses that
obviously can't be done with metal.
So we come to Rubbermade.
Rubbermade was a fantastic American company. They produced home
products out of plastic and rubber that were the envy of the
industry. Always well-made, always functionally excellent.

Then along came Walmart and the "Chinese disease.". In order to sell
to Walmart, you must obey the prices THEY set. That's right, the mfg.
doesn't get to decide, Walmart dictates what they will pay for a good.
So when Rubbermade came to Walmart and said "X" widget costs $5.00,
Walmart said, "You have to see it to us for $2.00." No negotiation.
Now, given every greedy, lazy American who spends their lives
chiseling down the CHEAPEST price were driving most retail to Walmart,
Rubbermade had no option but to comply. So, off went production to
China, and construction and materials cost were cut and quality
radically cheapened. The result (of course) was crappy products where
ones used to be very good. So now when your dish-washing gloves fall
apart after 5 uses, you KNOW who to blame.


Uh... I hate to get you out of your pathetic negative rant, but there is one
small problem, Rich.


Just consider it a public service, OK?


Now try and gather ALL of those diluted and disrupted braincells together
and see if you can understand this statement...


The company that is the focus of this particular rambling idiotic rant is:

"RubberMAID"


Hello?


Seesh....
