Default Radio Flyer Wagons ........

.....the classic American little red wagon will not be made in Chicago Ill anymore - they are moving production to CHINA.

My brother visited China on business a few months ago, his first time there.
He was toured around the production facility and he saw workers who were not paid much money, but they're given food, uniforms for work, housing and health care.

The airline had lost the bro's luggage so the host company's liason took him shopping and paid for a shirt, pants, underwear, socks and a belt - total cost about $35 American.

See, their whole economy is SO unlike ours that we cannot compete fairly - the playing field isn't anywhere NEAR level.
