China Corona virus

I find that many times I can buy exactly the same item for $10 or $50, the difference being ONLY the seller/store and/or label/sticker.

Labels and stickers don't mean much as I try to get a good product. Some are fooled by the lipstick on the pig.

I value a genuine person over all things. I don't care if you're the biggest prick around, but be real. Probably why my circle is very small but diverse.

I'm about as blunt and straightforward as they come. If I think you're an AH, I'll tell you so. I won't pussyfoot around. It has gotten me in a lot of trouble over the years though.

I don't think it's that easy. When you can stand back and bear witness to yourself and your behavior, but realize that the outcome of any given situation can depend on your behavior or the facade you presen to others, it can become a real Bumble F##$! lol

Or put another way. When your behavior or actions are the result of your intentions and not simply reactionary (according to your programming) , it becomes quite interesting.

Dang, looks like one of those recreational Dig Days likes a Plow Day, but they're building hospitals in 5 or 6 days.

Some are missing the point by trying to wax philosophical...it's not that complicated...It makes a difference where a culture or society allows piracy and plagiarism yet wants to stand next to those cultures and societies shoulder to shoulder...sorry but it does not work that way...The only facade is those that pretend to look the other way...

I think maybe the west has a slightly more honest culture as far as your average citizen. As for the SWAMP, I don't think that is anything much better than anything abroad.

Picture. Ants, but with excavators.

It's not that simple. Corporations want to victimize China and China wants to protect themselves is another way of looking at it. Give it some thought at least before being too dismissive. Corporations went there for cheap labor and materials, is it a surprise China wants to keep more for themselves? Yeah they pirate and steal but I won't pretend we are as pure as the driven snow and wouldn't do the same.

Yes it is that simple...it's as basic as it gets...it really has nothing to do with global economics etc. (corporations)...thats just subterfuge by the talking heads and fodder for the sheep that believe it...

I find that many times CHEAP isn't worth it.

True but I love those lenses. Sunglasses are too dark for me and these are tinted crystal. +1 power. Great for driving and flying my model planes.

Managed to repair one pair and I can use the other lenses on my old frames as they use tiny nuts and bolts to hold them on. My old ones had a broken lens.
Banggood usually refund anyway if there is a problem. I shouldn't be having to fix new items.

Here's one that belongs in the fav. saying thread...

"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer"

You shouldn't need to be a made man in the mafioso to figure that one out...!
