international biz I want your stories

Figured I try to start a thread about stories of international biz and shipping so here's mine I ordered two different lighters high-quality lighters one from China one from North Carolina both products were made at the places they were shipped from i'm in sunny California the Chinese had responded that the item was in the mail 20 minutes after I made the order it took North Carolina four days to let me know that they just started to ship my order by which point the Chinese one had already arrived and was in perfect working order a excellent lighter the following 11 days that it took for the North Carolina lighter to arrive we're pretty frustrating and it stopped working after pretty much 4 uses which is a good explanation as to why the Chinese are destroying America on a matter of economy & business america's been so sure that were the shit for so long we've forgot a simple thing like Drive, gumption as my grandma would've called it how many young kids trying to bum change from you in the fucking street while all the Chinese kids are working

Hahahahaha incidentally I'm also the worst of those very American kids Bum King my friends call me been homeless since 14 make a living playing the ocarina (flute) at a coffee shop got a wife and two kids to feed and God provides

Just sad that the American dream is kind of now inherently the concept of being able to get past whatever crap you're having to deal with to survive despite it and I got homies immigrating to China making millions all the sudden in business living the American dream and motherfucking China

And heres whole Threads talking shit about foreign nations just cause were butt hurt that they better bidness men

Could just be that I'm too sober and over complicating
