incandescent bulbs go into the dustbin of history

[Indofred]

I knew we could count on you to pimp for a Chicom website!

By the way, is idiocy a hobby or do you do it for a living?

You see anything to do with China and assume some silly little slanty eyed chink is behind it, probably ripping people off in some poorly designed scam.

Frankly, you're stupid.
This is big business and, in posting it, I'm alerting you to how much you're been screwed on LED bulb prices and how to do something about it.

Sadly, you're too fucking stuck in a socialist, "I need someone to wipe my arse for me" mindset to justify the trees' time in producing the oxygen you use up.
Seriously, a 5 year old girl decides she doesn't want to eat her veggie, but will when we explain how it helps her.
A kid is a fucking lot brighter than you and your daft 100 year old light bulbs.
You prefer racism to making or saving money - what a fucking idiot.

Jesus H fucking Christ on a pair of bastard lollipop sticks; there's no wonder you're been ripped off - You're mugs, ripe for it.

"socialists"?

The Chinese are communists....but you knew that......

I was referring to you, pity you're too fucking stupid to realise you're acting like a socialist, but a racist version.
A pseudo-right winger.

Surely my outfit gives a clue to my hobby as "court jester".

But your little rant above removes any doubt as to whether or not you might be a RACIST.

 

[Dot Com]

so you start stockpiling yet?

 

[HenryBHough]

Start?

No.

Finished.

When it was first disclosed that shortages would be the inevitable result and prices had not yet risen.

how do you know he wasn't using hyperbole to make his point but you already knew that didn't you? Your chance to deflect & run away

Your stupidity is beyond limits.
Take a long walk off a short pier.

Americans are being, according to prices quoted in this thread, well ripped off on LED bulb prices.
I attempt to help by showing you the real price range and how to buy and make cash but you just rant on about it being a Chinese site.
That's why racism is stupidity. You're willing to ignore everything because someone told you the Chinese are evil expansionist communists, even when a white American Harvard graduate is effectively running that branch of multi million dollar, very capitalist, company.

What a twit.

People commonly do silly things, that's understandable and can be forgiven; gross fucking idiocy is less easy to excuse.

Obviously you folks are big shovers... You want THANKS? For killing jobs and forcing a market in FAILED Cfls?

Given that people were flocking to buy them for years before the ban, you look kind of crazy for calling such a raging free market success a failure.

There are so many sufferers of light bulb derangement syndrome on parade here. Like I said, they've gone hysterical after the environmentalists scored yet another very public success.

It's sort of a libertarian thing in general. They base their market predictions on their near-religious beliefs, instead of on facts and data. Hence the real world always smacks them down, hence they have to retreat into their fantasy worlds.

Cute but nothing there to refute your flaming racism. Nice try, though.

I find it very odd, those who claim the political right are the ones who refuse the capitalist ideal of keeping costs to a minimum.
They complain of high costs to buy the units but don't think of ways to buy at a better price.

Very low quality right wingers.

The mandates and deadlines cost us jobs and technology advantages. The cost savings being so obvious, why the need to outlaw a bulb? Dictating the timeline for technology changes is very costly. And the idea of closing coal plants before you have a plan could be deadly.. Which is why all those progressive europeans have bullied themselves into a corner where more coal IMMEDIATELY is the only way to keep people from dying.. if theres an unintended consequence, a leftist with power to dictate will find it.. And then they expect you to kiss their ass..

Like when folks see their winter heating bills GO UP by 5 or 8% without those 100% efficient incandescent bulbs in their sockets....

Odd, how you can claim to speak for all conservatives and capitalists, to the point that you can determine by fiat what their unifying ideal is.

Very low quality right wingers.

Very low rent Indofred.

Light bulb factory closes; End of era for U.S. means more jobs overseas

WINCHESTER, VA. - The last major GE factory making ordinary incandescent light bulbs in the United States is closing this month, marking a small, sad exit for a product and company that can trace their roots to Thomas Alva Edison's innovations in the 1870s.

The remaining 200 workers at the plant here will lose their jobs.

During the recession, political and business leaders have held out the promise that American advances, particularly in green technology, might stem the decades-long decline in U.S. manufacturing jobs. But as the lighting industry shows, even when the government pushes companies toward environmental innovations and Americans come up with them, the manufacture of the next generation technology can still end up overseas.

That was the last GE plant to close. 3 others went before it.. Along with their entire supply chain of material providers, The concept that we had the OPPORTUNITY to keep all that here is EXACTLY my point about missing out on creating 21st century manufacturing for these things in the states.. Guys like me were working on automated assemblynand testing for US production. My client was DEDICATED to making them HERE. But Dot Com and his heroes couldnt wait, didnt even REALIZE they were short circuiting all that with their crisis timelines.... Kiss MY ass. And thank us for trying..

Wasnt just the top of the food chain, it was the ENTIRE supply chain. I talked to machinists who were gonna automate the heat sink production here in the USA. Domestic companies that were building new PCB lines in Col. And Indiana to build the special metal clad boards that the hot leds sit on.. All my contacts ditched those plans and tossed it to China.. So next time Dotty starts ranting about those profit hound greedy capitalists shipping jobs overseas --- kick him in the ass for me.

Instead I get to stay up late and solve problems in China.. Pretty soon, they wont need US tech or knowhow.. Then I can retire early and let DotCom pay for my health insurance...

What could possible go wrong with a mercury filled bulb that says on the package if this breaks in your house run outside?

If people were flocking to buy CFLs, then there would really have been no need to ban incandescents. Market demand would have take care of that.

But they really weren't flocking to them. You just made that part up so the rest of your smear of people who distrust loathsome central planner bullies like you would work itself out.

I guess there ARE a lot of light bulb activists here.

No more so than there are horse and buggy activists here.

But I am also good with letting Amish people run around in their horse-drawn carriages, rather that forcing them to buy Priuses and forcibly installing flat screen televisions in their homes, under the arrogant presumption that I could best determine what was in their interests more so than they could.

No, high wages cost you jobs as it's cheaper to produce in China and ship them to the states.
You can't invest in the technology because you're way too late; China beat you to it.

This thread explains why government needs to get rid of the bulb. You have far too many idiots.

Winter heating bills? Moronic argument.
Imagine a space heater using 1,500 w, or running 150, old style 100w bulbs.
It may get a little bright when you warm up your room.

Sunglasses, anyone?

CFLs are already way out of date.
Why the fixation on old technology when trying to defend old technology?

Bloody hell; I've already linked to the FOB price of the LED units, where to buy them and the exporter will arrange shipping for the inexperienced.

Go do something about it.

I see the pimping for a Chinese vendor continues.

I guess that's the new patriotism!
