Good morning! It’s going to be a hot one… 🥵 ☀️ 56 – 97° in Logan ☀️ 72 – 102° in Salt Lake City ☀️ 74 – 107° in St. George ⚠️ Extreme Heat I asked you a few days ago about the smallest, pettiest hill you will die on, and reader Robert Harte had one for you. Whether it be clothing, appliances or cars, he goes to great lengths to only buy items manufactured in the U.S. He admits it’s hard to find items that are made in the U.S., but if he can’t, it comes with benefits to his pocketbook. He said, “I ask myself if I really need it — 95% of the time, I don’t and then simply don’t buy it. You’d be surprised at how much money that saves me.” This strategy has helped him in the long-run because he feels the products he has bought have all lasted longer. “I bought a 09 Ford Taurus X 13 years ago that has lots of miles on it and been all over the country, and has never had a single mechanical breakdown in all those years I’ve had it.” He also has personal reasons for supporting American-made brands: “I am all about supporting American jobs which helps our economy.” Don’t try to talk him down. He has made up his mind. Tell me: Keep ‘em coming! What are the tiniest, pettiest arguments you will defend? Also on our minds: Blackouts in southern California, the school dress code that allows midriffs and pajamas and UDOT recommends a pricey gondola for Little Cottonwood Canyon. |
