"Does it really make sense to make ding dang toys in China" Yes, when you can pay somebody 50 cents or a buck an hour to make them in a factory free from regulation. That's why it happens. Does it make environmental sense? No, but when has that ever been a free market consideration? Does it make e-sense to eat grapes from Chile in the off-season, or Australian beef anytime, or for European courgette and lettuce crisis pushes air freight demand from California? "I see the gazillions of storage units filled to the bursting so that people have enough room in their homes so they can go out and buy more shit" People are addicted to stuff. I don't know how to change that.
