Hmmmm, thanks for posting that!

Amazing, thanks.

I have been wondering if there is a place that I could sell the insulation that I strip from the wire. I would love to sell
it,and have it recycled than it filling up my garbage can.

Great article, and great example of the free market at work: trash in one country is valuable raw material in another.
Just another instance of where the U.S. is:
1) Buying a manufactured item from China.
2) Selling the broken/used item back to them for recycling/reuse/repurposing.
3) Doing so with borrowed money, much of the debt being owned by China.
China is making money three times on the same string of Christmas lights.
