Default Now why didn't I think of that ?

Just got a new toaster from Amazon. I was blown away ( doesn't take much for me ) by the A/C plug.
All those years of pulling out plugs by the cord, and now this !
Pure genius :

That looks like a (w)hol(l)ey new idea to me.
These Chinese are smart, they'll take over the world ..... but I guess they already have.

It's a "Breville" brand toaster, and yes it is indeed made in China.

Made in China and some people wonder where the jobs went.

Too many people want everything and they want it now, so everything they want is offered cheaply to them and as a consequence as many as possible jobs are moved overseas.

Carried to the extreme any ammo for a war would have to be imported. Let's hope they're not fighting China.

The brave new world promised service jobs for all, with manufacturing carried out off shore. I guess a part time job working in a hamburger joint is a service job.
