Today I tried to buy a toaster.

It has bothered me lately that so many things seem to be "made in China", given that China is one of the absolute worst dictatorships in the world. So I decided to get a toaster that was not made in China. I had no other requirements; it should toast bread, and not be made in China.

I failed. I went to several different stores around central Stockholm, found several toaster models of different brands, all "made in China".

😠 😠 😠
