Re: Where from?
It's "logistics", Tim! The price of the shipping container that brings this stuff over from Asia is less than what it would cost to ship them back! So they wind up abandoned near every major US port.
The problem, as I see it, is that most consumers are looking for a bargain, and rightly so! But in this global economy we're prisoners to corporations who outsource to foreign factories who pay their workers $.23-an-hour. So IF you can still find products that are "Proudly Made in the U.S.A.!", you're going to pay a premium!
