Parents should not look to the government to protect their children from unsafe toys

The war wages on and the US government surrenders to the Chinese. The current administration has reached an agreement with the Chinese to eliminate the recalls of Chinese goods. Did the Chinese agree to implement laws and penalties to enforce US product safety laws? No. The US just eliminated our capability to check the incoming goods. WTF?

We must not get upset with the Chinese. They are doing their own best interest. They do not care if their population dies from unsafe products or that child labor is rampant. They have too many people. You can go to jail if you have more than one child. Just to put this into perspective. A Chinese couple will abandon in an orphanage or kill a female child born because male children have greater value. Why would you think they are interested in providing safe products for American children.

Most Americans will say, “you cannot buy toys without purchasing Chinese products.” Translated, “Who cares if my child will suffer brain damage from lead paint. They want this toy now.” We cannot expect our government to protect us. They are all in bed with Corporate America. Corporate America does not give a rat’s ass about the individual. Just look at their $100 million salaries while the employees are making barely above minimum wage and have no insurance.

If you care about your children it is your responsibility to purchase products that are safe. You cannot say I did not know. You cannot shift the blame later to someone else. If you choose to purchase a product from China, you know that it is not made to US standards. That includes safety. I am not saying that someone should boycott products. I am saying you are making a choice to compromise your child’s health to save a few bucks. Do what you like. If our economy continues changing its structure we will need an ever greater number of brain dead youth to fill the menial jobs that will remain.
