CA renter. Thank you. Maybe I’m just not succinct enough about that. What people in other countries look like matter not to me. They can be green and from Mars. They can be hard workers, no doubt. Just as we can be as well.
As you said, just as quickly as we design and made something here, it ends up being built elsewhere. Companies are looking at the bottom line of profits and we can’t compete w/wages in countries such as China.
And you’re right again. If those countries and companies operated under the same labor laws and environmental protections we are subjected to, it would be a different story.
That and whatever else tax credits companies get for shipping jobs overseas.
But that would all be back to complaining as if our hands were tied and the whole point I think was to act locally on a personal level what you can do. I think that was what the point was of that email I got. The choice to buy American made products.
