It happened today. My torch lamp by my couch decided to give up the light job. The app. 6' tubular bulb checked open and it is starting to snow outside so I decide on a quick dash to the local hardware store instead of a 15Mi trip to the big box. I grabbed the 150W bulb and dashed to the checkout not even looking at the price. IT WAS $5.99. the last one I bought was $1.50 . Here's my theory. The Chinese have killed off our manufacturing with there child labor pricing and now they are in a position to name there own price. What do you think? Frank
