WE pay the difference!

'Nuff said.
How does Wal-Mart sell you all of that foreign crap for 1/2 price?
Yep, that's right.... "WE pay the difference!" And not a peep....
Isn't it amzaing that the raw materials can be shipped to China.
Those raw materials cam be manufactured into a product. And, then the
product can be shipped back to the US and sold for less than product
can be produced in the US.

You think plastic comes from the US?

Well duh. Of course we manufacture plastic in the US? What is wrong with
you idiots.

Injection mould, repackaging and manufacture are different hings. Ok,
maybe some reminants left in Texas. Most comes in from offshore.

OK, you morons, all the major oil refiners facilities in the US include
crackers that allow them use the byproducts of oil refinery in the
mfg'er of different kinds of plastics. This is the raw material that
is then used in the US and outside of the US. Damn you right wing
****faces, don't you know anything? oh, this was the gun fearing idiot
out west who didn't realize plastics was mfg'er in the US. Damn idiot,
i hope the west coast falls into the ocean. They and jps are useless
as tits on a bull.

For the morons and idiots in this group (jps are you listening, or do
you have a gun to your head) here is how plastics are made:

The technological road from oil field to finished plastic product has
numerous fascinating side trips. Here’s the route taken in the
petroleum-to-plastics process:

1. Petroleum is drilled and transported to a refinery.

2. Crude oil and natural gas are refined into ethane, propane,
hundreds of other petrochemical products and, of course, fuel for your car.

3. Ethane and propane are "cracked" into ethylene and propylene, using
high-temperature furnaces.

4. Catalyst is combined with ethylene or propylene in a reactor,
resulting in "fluff," a powdered material (polymer) resembling laundry
detergent.

5. Fluff is combined with additives in a continuous blender.

6. Polymer is fed to an extruder where it is melted.

7. Melted plastic is cooled then fed to a pelletizer that cuts the
product into small pellets.

8. Pellets are shipped to customers.

9. Customers manufacture plastic products by using processes such as
extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, etc.
