4. I have a hard time trying to peg just what the saddest facet of this story is.
Is it that children might ingest too much lead?

Is it that the Boy Scouts buy cheap plastic Chinese shit?

Is it that the cheap plastic Chinese shit is cheaper to make 7,000 miles away and then ship and distribute back to the States than to simply make it here?

Or maybe it's that there are probably hundreds of thousands of similarly toxic badges floating around that were never tested, and probably hundreds of thousands more that won't be in the future because we just don't learn?

Whatever it is, I don't know whether to :eyes: or :rofl: or :cry: or some combination thereof.
