"Smuggling bootleg light bulbs into California would be a piece of
cake. Just stuff them inside bales of marijuana. Or line up eight
packs in the cargo bays of Greyhound buses carrying illegals on the
express lane from Tijuana to any of two dozen sanctuary cities."

It's for the children.

And it's comforting to know that virtually all the CFL bulbs will come
from China.


So much for stating the obvious.

Why don't you tell us what *doesn't* come from China?


Until quite recently GE light bulbs.


Along with Sylvania and Philips formerly Westinghouse..

Thankfully it is still profitable for Philips and/or Osram/Sylvania to
makle some USA-popular lightbulbs for "USA market", but in Canada or
Mexico,

Canada appears to me to be doing good by having a nationalized
healthcare system, reducing need of employers to "chip in" in
comparison to USA.
