Wow, you sure are good at lumping people into groups and making sweeping negative generalizations about them.
First off, Gavita is owned by Scotts, owner of Miracle Grow and the main distributor of Monsanto's Round Up.
Scotts also bought Botanicare a few years, which was very disappointing to me as a long time Botanicare user. I guess I'm one of those "butt hurt" people, since I don't like supporting companies who directly contribute to making people and the planet very sick. Yeah, I guess I got "butt hurt", because I had to go out and find a new nutrient regimen. I still do miss that Botanicare PureBlend Pro, but feel good knowing that I'm putting my money in someone else's pocket.
Now to your odd connection of people "like me" who get "butt hurt" over the evils of Scotts and Monsanto, also being the same people who "buy china all day long", I guess I must be some weird outlier in your massive generalization. Sure, I'm not gonna say that I don't buy things from China, but I do my due diligence to buy from US companies whenever I can, and honestly it's always paid off. When I bought my LED lights, I could have saved a little buying on Alibaba, but I spent maybe 10% more buying Quantum boards direct from HLG and Meanwell drivers from Arrow. I also recently bought one of those motorized stand-up/sit-down desks for my kid. I could have saved $200 buying something similar from China, but I bought from mojodesk.com. I did have one issue with a damaged part when it arrived. I called the MojoDesk office after hours, and left a voice message; they had a replacement part shipped out to me the next day. I believe in supporting US businesses, labor, and innovations as much as I believe in not giving my money to businesses who hurt people, like Scotts and Monsanto. Sorry to sound butt hurt about it.
