Coming from the side that grooms kids in schools and lost 300,000 kids (how pervertedly convenient) that crossed the boarder under the There’s No Way To Stop Them Without Passing The Bill administration. Man do you guys get “butt hurt” from the Trump. Didn’t think it was possible with his little hands and all. You know that saying.

A classic case of Alfred E. Newmanitis... Even Kohler makes their showerheads in China, not in Wisconsin...

Making Showers Great Again​

President Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday repealing Biden-instituted restrictions on water flow in shower heads.

On Thursday, Jimmy Fallon said the good news is “more powerful shower heads are on the way. Bad news: They’re all made in China.”

“America was, like, ‘What are you doing in our 401(k)?’ And Trump was, like, ‘Stronger shower nozzles.’”

Probably also made in Chee-neh, but I like where you're going with it.

Not necessarily in US...

American Standard Brands, the company behind the brand, is based in the United States, but production facilities are also located in Mexico and other countries. The brand is owned by the LIXIL Group, which is a Japanese company.

And your point???

THE CUSTOMER​

American Standard is a North American manufacturer of plumbing fixtures headquartered in Piscataway, New Jersey. The brand has been a mainstay in the building industry for the past 150 years.

THE PROVIDER​

Hercules Forwarding is an asset-based less-than-truckload (LTL) motor carrier and customs brokerage with Canadian headquarters in New Westminster, British Columbia and U.S. headquarters in Vernon, California. It specializes in U.S.-Canada shipments with a specific focus on transloading solutions.

​

---

American Standard produces most of these units in one of four manufacturing plants it operates in Mexico and then ships them to distribution centers in the United States and Canada.


Suffice it to say, there isn't a single plumbing supply corporation that manufactures all of its products in the US.

I originally picked on Kohler because years ago I visited the plant and toured the factory where all the porcelain products were HANDCASTED into molds, not automated, and they SANDCASTED the parts for their generators. Talk about a tour of Dante's Inferno...

There’s literally a raw sewage overflow pipe at foot of T-Neck that spews shit, needles, tampon applicators, when it rains hard. They have a crude filter at the end of the pipe but doesn’t stop a lot of debris. Kept in and sheltered from reality we are.
