Because we want 6 of everything, and affordable enough to replace every year or so. It's as much western cultures fault as theirs.
- You want to replace your drywall every year?TheBlueOne

That's almost as good as the granite counter-tops that contain Uranium.
- Does that make them more valuable?TheBlueOne

at the time the builder was probably thinking "no way i'm paying $7.56 for a sheet of American Drywall, buy it from China for $1.24 a sheet then triple the home price... we'll make millions muwhahahahahah." this is why i hate most builders.
- Yeah, there can't be a reason why it's so cheap from China.ETM

When you buy junk from China which includes: toothpaste, food, cotton, wood, jeans, glass, drywall, toys, silverware, furniture, iPhones, etc... don't be surprised to find arsenic, lead, mercury, plutonium, animal parts, acid, or all the above made with it...
- added bonuseskona
- vitamins and pharmacuticals as well...TheBlueOne

i actually found and iPhone in my toothpaste this morning. It didn't work though, the iPhone had traces of jeans in it.

Yeah, but if it gets so bad that everyone fears buying anything from them, it'll kill their new economy. So long term, it's in their interest to get their shit together. And I personally, will pay a few more cents or dollars for something if it won't kill me, or the environment.
Example, $2.44 flip flops cause chemical burns. WTF do you expect at that price? There has to be something to it! Plus they'll fall apart in 2 weeks and you need another pair. Buy quality, not quantity.
