The US should either ban the importation of anything containing lead
free solder or put a very heavy tax on it to ensure that it is properly
recycled after its intentionally shortened life. If foreign companies
don't want to build with real solder, they can sell strictly to the EU.

Hear, HEAR! There, there!

I have to admit, this sounds like a great idea. But I doubt it would
make much difference; the US represents a very small piece of the market.

You're right. The *** made over there doesn't sell here that much.

Our products, on the other hand, are in demand over there.

Hence the manipulation.
