It seems that they may have made it to New York.

Just checked and mine made it to New York on the 14th as well

I got mine today, you'll probably find the button shifted (its magnetic base)....all is good. very light weight & a bit on the flimsy side.

one was enough. also with this order I found out per enclosed letter that I also was forced to donate Eur 5.00 to a group called Tafel Deutschland, I looked them up & found this...
"In Germany, several tons of food are destroyed every day, even though they are still edible. At the same time, there is a shortage of many people.
The non-profit panels create a balance: they collect surplus, high-quality food and distribute it to the socially and economically disadvantaged.
Tafel Deutschland is the umbrella organization of more than 940 panels. As a service centre, it supports its members and represents its interests towards politics, business and society.
The panels are one of the greatest social-ecological movements of our time. Support us: with voluntary commitment, a donation or an ideal."
I don't think I like the "political" aspect of it.

Bruce, as far as i know they´re not holding a secret agenda, to turn the political scene in any specific direction, merely that surplus food should be eaten, instead of filling dumpsters.
I don´t think there´s any charitable organisation in the world, who does not lobby to strengthen their efficiency when possible?

In this case the intended “virtue” does not match the agenda. The Vironator signals one virtue, but the money collected goes to another agenda not directly related to the the virus.
Tafel Deutschland , at it’s own admission, has been shifting to more “social justice’” activism since they see more of a need to assist and provide food for islamic refugees and “migrants”.
Since St. Paul Steam received a letter of his “donation” to a group that lobbies for political activism, will he be listed as one of their donor/members now?
