Its a shame I often read magazine articles from overseas and see all kind of really unique products for sale you will never find for sale here in the USA.
The same with medicines and medical procedures . All because of Bull Shit Regulations and Politics, Red Tape Bureaucracy and Greed . Take Burglar and fire alarm systems .
They have some really fantastic combo fire and burglar panels they sell in Europe that are software driven we will never see here in the states. The reason because they have to meet stringent UL or other 3rd party listing which costs big bucks and makes it not worth bringing the product to this country. Go to Japan or China even Brazil and you will find all kind of unique electronic products not offered here, same with communication devices cell phones overseas are much more sophisticated than we will ever see here and they operate much faster as well because internet service overseas is 10 times faster and better and much cheaper because they are not throttling it back and otherwise limiting it like they do here in the states.
But as long as manufacturers and providers can use UL and government regulations to keep prices fixed and higher than any where else and keep competition out we will never see these products here. Talk to any sales representative for an overseas manufacturer who sells here in the USA and they will pull out and show you some amazing catalogs full of products not available here.
Because UL , FCC, CPSC or EPA, or some other agency says there not safe do not meet stringent codes etc etc etc. which is total bull shit . Yes some products should not be allowed to sell here but because it costs so much to get products certified to sell in USA and you have to carry so much liability insurance do to sue happy Americans we will never be able to benefit from products the rest of the world now enjoys.
Just peruse the internet and check out overseas manufacturers sites and look at all the neat products . Products you will never see here.
