Nat’l Bankruptcy Day – TOMORROW
Well, tomorrow is the day… the day that the new CPSIA goes into effect. The day that I can no longer sell bags made for those under 12. The day that consignment shops will be operating illegally. The day that libraries will technically be operating illegally if they choose to have books intended for kids under age 12 on their shelves.
Yes, this law is stupid.
And it can’t come at a much worse time. The economy is tanking, it’s going to hell in a hand-basket, it’s getting worse folks. As of tomorrow there will be hundreds more that will be trying to figure out how to make ends meet. People who have been creating beautiful, handmade, safe toys for our kids can’t legally sell them. Consignment shops carrying kids clothes will be required by law to have every item tested before they can sell them.
Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but do we have a gov’t that is doing everything that they can to usher in socialism or what? More and more people will be losing their homes, and over stupid wording in a stupid law that will not fix the issues with toys coming out of China anyway!
Factory workers in China put in 20 hour days regularly so that Americans can buy the cheap crap that is being shoved into our homes. Sometimes they get an entire hour to sleep before they have to be on the clock again – and they lay their heads down where they are working to catch some zzz’s. As of tomorrow, they will be even more busy. Nothing like handing the money over to China on a silver platter! Why? Because it’s the huge toy manufacturers that will be able to afford the testing that this idiotic law mandates – not the small domestic ones.
I know, I’ve been harping on this for a couple of months, but it really is that important. What will our schools start looking like when the books that they make available to our kids are suddenly illegal because they haven’t been tested? How are school districts going to afford to pay higher prices for new books when they are already having to lay off half of their teachers?
Seriously… can our law makers be more idiotic?
Yes, protect our children. I’m all for that. But don’t “protect” them by handing our economy over to another country! What kind of country are they going to inherit if the gov’t continues to offer massive debt-inducing bailout programs, and cuts it’s people off at the knees like this? Not one I’d want to be a part of.
Socialism, here we come. Oh goody.
I don’t know about you, but I rather like having some FREEDOMS… and I’m tired of the few trading them away from me for no real reason… except perhaps that they want to have more control.
Write to your senators, your representatives, your local papers, your mayors & governors, tell others about this. DO SOMETHING!!!
Please?
