    Already happening; much of the junk I get from china is broken out of the box. I think that when someone translated "Think out of the box" and "Brake out of the box" it got taken literal. Miss my old can opener; worked for years until wife decided it was ugly and threw it away. Now I go thru new ones every six months. Can't find any Made in America on the shelves anywhere.
