American made ice cube trays
For Kuthe and others who may be interested:
Turns out the trays we have used in our fridges for years are made in USA Sterilite 7240. We have three. I overfill them a bit, which makes picking up cubes easy. |

If plastic ice cube trays are lightly coated with vegetable oil and then washed cubes will not stick... probably only need to do this once over the life of the tray. |

Oh **** THE HELL OFF with you a endless Wal Mary bitching! Damn you're a useless waste of electrolytes! https://www.minneapolisfed.org/publi...al-communities The Wal-Mart effect: Poison or antidote for local communities? Wal-Mart even scares businesses that aren't direct competitors, at least not yet. Banks, for instance, lobbied Congress hard to keep Wal-Mart from becoming an industrial loan corporation, which, in effect, would have allowed it to offer banking services. But some argue that the company can be, and often is, a force for good. Wal-Mart's low prices are hard to dispute, and the biggest benefactors are low-income shoppers. Wal-Mart has been widely lauded for its $4 pharmacy program, which has rippled through drug and pharmacy industries to the delight of consumer advocates. The company has received considerable attention for various environmental initiatives. It has widely replaced store lighting with energy-saving bulbs and given the bulbs prominent space on store shelves. The company announced in November that it has increased the energy efficiency of its buildings and truck fleets by 15 percent since 2005, and has committed to using solar energy at 22 sites. It also promised to cut solid waste from its U.S. stores by 25 percent by next October. Earlier in the year, the company announced a pilot program with a small number of suppliers (among its 60,000 worldwide) who will start measuring, and hopefully reducing, their carbon footprint. Given the terror that Wal-Mart is purported to inflict on communities, the fedgazette's findings of the firm's economic influence are almost mundane. Despite its kill-them-all reputation, Wal-Mart is not the threat that many fear, at least in terms of economic benchmarks commonly associated with healthy, growing communities. For example, Wal-Mart is widely believed to destroy local firms and jobs and to have a dampening effect on wages. But fedgazette findings suggest the opposite: Firm growth, employment and total earnings were somewhat stronger in Wal-Mart counties and, in some cases, even in the retail sector. The research does suggest that retail earnings per job fell in virtually all counties studied. But they actually fell by less in Wal-Mart counties. It should be emphasized that there are big differences in population, income and employment growth rates among the counties studied. Some counties with a Wal-Mart had strong growth, and other Wal-Mart counties had slow growth. Similarly, there were fast and slow growers among non-Wal-Mart counties. The point here is that Wal-Mart's presence explains little of this disparity pattern. Still, some notable outcomes did show through in the study. In sum, fedgazette findings suggest that Wal-Mart has a slightly positive effect on counties where the retailer decides to set up shop. |

Some >metal and some plastic. Yeah, and like I said because more and more United Statesians are seeking to buy only United Statesian make goods, many vendors arte LYING about their products counmtry of origin they have available for sale. I got bitten for a $200 pair of Keen boots because Keen has "Made in USA" plastered all over their website, but the boots I got mail order clearly have a "Made In China" label sewn into them!! :-( I am much more careful anymore.

Some >metal and some plastic. It's an ice cube tray, at this point what difference does it make where it was made, and how would anyone know by looking at it... Ice cube trays don't have country of origin molded into them, only the packaging would say and nine times out of ten that's only where the packaging was made. Practically nothing is manufactured in the US anymore, Americans don't know how to make stuff anymore... why do you think Trump is always saying how he hires Hispanics, he has to, Americans don't know how to build skyscrapers, most Americans can barely erect a prefab garden shed. America's schools no longer teach building trades or any trades, there are no apprenticship programs, haven't been for a long time. Americans are deathly ascared of perspiration and calluses, about all they can do is use keyboards and play the system to remain on the dole. |

I cried when I saw what the current Rubbermaid version of the dish drainer they have sold since the 1960s is like. The wire is only 2/3 the diameter. Only imports need be marked with country of origin. Anything with a molded label would also have to be marked China or Taiwan. |

Wal-Mart even scares businesses that aren't direct competitors, at least not yet. Banks, for instance, lobbied Congress hard to keep Wal-Mart from becoming an industrial loan corporation, which, in effect, would have allowed it to offer banking services. But some argue that the company can be, and often is, a force for good. Wal-Mart's low prices are hard to dispute, and the biggest benefactors are low-income shoppers. Wal-Mart has been widely lauded for its $4 pharmacy program, which has rippled through drug and pharmacy industries to the delight of consumer advocates. The company has received considerable attention for various environmental initiatives. It has widely replaced store lighting with energy-saving bulbs and given the bulbs prominent space on store shelves. The company announced in November that it has increased the energy efficiency of its buildings and truck fleets by 15 percent since 2005, and has committed to using solar energy at 22 sites. It also promised to cut solid waste from its U.S. stores by 25 percent by next October. Earlier in the year, the company announced a pilot program with a small number of suppliers (among its 60,000 worldwide) who will start measuring, and hopefully reducing, their carbon footprint. So the fedgazette decided to take a closer look at the matter, attempting to answer a seemingly straightforward question: What economic effect does Wal-Mart have on local communities in the Ninth District? Conventional wisdom suggests that Wal-Mart's economic influence is significant and obvious. If that's indeed the case, then we should see palpable change in measures commonly used as proxies for community health—things like jobs, firms, income, population and poverty. So the fedgazette looked at 40 small counties in the district that saw Wal-Mart come to town between 1986 and 2003 and compared them with 49 similarly sized non-Wal-Mart counties in the district (see methodology). The fedgazette then looked at these familiar benchmarks—jobs, firms, population, income and poverty—from 1985 to 2005 to see if Wal-Mart counties performed differently than non-Wal-Mart counties. Readers should understand that all results come with a host of caveats (again, see methodology for examples). The point of this research is not to offer the last word on whether Wal-Mart is helpful or harmful—it is clearly both, though which it is depends on the circumstances. In fact, in this matter Wal-Mart is no different from any new business—large or small—coming to town and competing with incumbent businesses for finite spending in a community. Wal-Mart just competes for a larger share of it, and within a bigger geographic area. As a result, the hope of this research is to better frame the friend-or-foe debate over Wal-Mart. Given the terror that Wal-Mart is purported to inflict on communities, the fedgazette's findings of the firm's economic influence are almost mundane. Despite its kill-them-all reputation, Wal-Mart is not the threat that many fear, at least in terms of economic benchmarks commonly associated with healthy, growing communities. For example, Wal-Mart is widely believed to destroy local firms and jobs and to have a dampening effect on wages. But fedgazette findings suggest the opposite: Firm growth, employment and total earnings were somewhat stronger in Wal-Mart counties and, in some cases, even in the retail sector. The research does suggest that retail earnings per job fell in virtually all counties studied. But they actually fell by less in Wal-Mart counties. |

If Wal-Mart’s stores were not in tune with the concerns of shoppers in small communities, the stores wouldn’t make a profit and would eventually shut down. If Wal-Mart’s stores were not in tune with the concerns of job seekers in those communities, the stores wouldn’t be able to staff their operations. The concerns that Wal-Mart rightly disregards are those of local businesses that would prefer not to have to deal with new competition. The absence of rigorous competition leads to high prices in many small communities. While this may be good for the profit margins of established businesses, it is not necessarily a condition to be preferred over the benefits for the majority of the inhabitants of the community that result from robust competition. Wal-Mart runs the largest corporate cash-giving foundation in America. In 2004 Wal-Mart donated over $170 million. More than 90 percent of these donations went to charities in the communities served by Wal-Mart stores.7 From an economic perspective, when all the claims are dispassionately evaluated it looks like Wal-Mart promotes prosperity. The company is helping consumers get more for their money. It is providing jobs for willing employees. It is stimulating its suppliers to achieve greater economies in manufacturing. It is encouraging trade with less-developed economies, helping the inhabitants of Third World nations to improve their standards of living. Far from “disregarding the concerns of small communities,” Wal-Mart offers an appealing place to shop and work. Wal-Mart is doing all these good things and making a profit of around $9 billion a year.This is a profit margin of less than 4 percent.That’s mighty efficient. To call Wal-Mart a “corporate criminal” is slander. Wal-Mart is a model of how successful capitalism is supposed to work. It is a company that should be emulated, not reviled. http://business.time.com/2012/06/04/...oming-to-town/ Homeowners, local chambers of commerce, and town planners alike all have some assumptions about Walmart. It’s often assumed that when a new Walmart opens in town, it’ll kill small businesses and may even hurt the local real estate market. But researchers say the effects of Walmart on a surrounding town are sometimes surprising: The numbers indicate that the presence of the big-box retailer may actually be good for home values and some small businesses—though not so good for waistlines. In a new paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, Devin Pope and Jaren Pope, economists from the University of Chicago and Brigham Young University, respectively, investigated what the introduction of a Walmart store did to nearby home values in communities around the U.S. After analyzing 600,000 home purchases between 2001 and 2006 in the vicinity of 159 new Walmarts, they found that homes located within half a mile of the Walmart rose in value 2% to 3% more relative to homes that weren’t close to the mammoth retailer. Homes located between .5-mile and one mile from Walmart also saw a boost in value, though it tended to be slightly smaller, with prices increasing 1% to 2%. But the study also revealed that many other businesses were given a boost by the presence of Walmart. A CBS News story about the research noted: Those selling products and, especially, services that Walmart doesn’t will tend to do well. Again, because shoppers arrive near Walmart ready to spend, they tend to leave their money with whomever nearby is selling what they want. Researchers noted that over time—often, a LONG period of time—the storefronts shuttered as a result of an inability to compete with Walmart tend to eventually be occupied by restaurants, boutique retailers, professional offices, and other services and businesses that do not try to compete with Walmart. |
