There I stood looking at two packs of GU10 bulbs at my local huge box building supply store trying to decide which purchase would give the entire population of the United States a better future.
On the right, is a bulb marketed General Electric, a grand old American company that began when Thomas Edison invented light bulbs about 130 years ago. It is the tenth largest company in the world. The bulb package says "Made in China" and retails for $14.98
On the left is a bulb brought to us by L G Sourcing of N. Wilkesboro, NC. a wholly owned subsidiary of the Lowe's Companies. The bulb package says "Made in China" and retails for $6.98.
Both bulbs are Chinese made with American distributor networks. So what more am I getting and what do my fellow American workers get when I pay double for the GE bulb?
You and your fellow Americans get to watch all those mega-buck GE tv commercials.
Well, this American doesn't watch TV... and i don't buy the sales pitch.
