It's disgusting when you think about all the waste.
When that rotary phone was made and sold the money from it went back into the community where it was sold and to a US manufacturer who made it. Those monies went to US workers and US part suppliers and so on... one big continuous cycle of money changing hands within the same community. If something had happened to it some local person would have made a little money from fixing it too.
Now when a phone (or almost any other device of that kind) is sold, the only people making significant money from it locally is the retailer. The rest of the money ends up going back to china or malyasia etc and circulating around over there.
So the majority of the money goes overseas and what stays here is future landfill material.
This nation is paying for, literally, garbage to be imported.
