Buy American - No Chinese products ever again!

I ordered a pro-Trump item on Amazon, got the tracking info today, and found it's coming from China.
Someone else already left a review saying they would not have purchased their item if they knew it was made in China.
On the other hand, maybe the joke's on them. I can't see that you make much profit on something that costs $16 when you have to mail it halfway around the world.

I just paid $206 to ship a one quart bottle of a non-haz chemical to Italy, via DHL. FedEx and UPS were pushing $400.

I boycotted Nike in the mid 1990's when their ****** running shoes kept giving me shin splints. Switched to Asics at the time, then eventually Under Armour and now all I wear is Brooks for about the last 10 years. Best running shoes ever.

Nice. I boycotted Nike because of the fact slave labor makes their overpriced, ****** products. Been wearing Asics for years. New Balance is a decent product, American-made. Asics are made in Vietnam, Indonesia nowadays after originally being made in Japan for many years.
 
Just ordered 1,200 sq ft of Mohawk plank flooring made (at least for now) in Calhoun, Georgia USA.

My knees, also made in the USA, will be tested.

Pretty sure the Mohawks are much further north, like Upper NYS.

Geez, I hope they didnt get you with that old "westerners can't tell Mohawk from Cherokee planks" scam.

You're actually defending that horrible statement you made previously? So you're trying to justify taking illegal immigrants and putting them in sweat shops for pennies a day to compete with China? Really?

Yes, they broke the law. Put them in jail or deport them. You don't enslave them.

And give them an option to work dirt cheap or deport them back to Mexico. They are illegals who jumped the fence and bring in drugs, human trafficking, and other contraband.
 
Americans don't care about slave labor in China. They don't care about anything that happens there. Americans want Nike products and iPhones . Same in Europe.

This certainly is the case. But if Americans want to see real oppression China would be right up with North Korea in terms of being the worst places on the planet for humans.

I don't know if it's that as much as it is that so many things are made in China that you don't really have much choice.

I did not say enslave. Don't be a word bating moron. I said offer the very low wages which they can refuse or depot them back to Mexico. They choose. No more drug tracking, human smuggling, forcing some to do immoral things or support for people jumping the fence. Are you supporting of such actions? SMDH

Disagree strongly.

Nixon and Kissinger got the Arabs.....all of them....to price oil in USD. That led to US dollar hegemony and petro dollar recycling, which is why, even today, inflation is greater in almost every country outside of the US. The average American is so much better off because of this, and has been since 71
 
It will be scary when the Chinese yuan is the world's reserve currency.

Partly true, Nixon did get all the nations in OPEC Iraq, IRAN and some other nations come to mind. We are business partners with Saudi Arabia, no need to fist bump them like we are pals. Biden had it right to call them out in the past. No he is selling out from what he said in the past.

Kissinger is still alive today. Now he would have made a great president if allowed.
