BUY AMERICAN (avoid that made in China)

[desmond]

FOR EXAMPLE THE” OUR FAMILY” BRAND OF THE MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN “FROM CHINA” .

Mandarin oranges? Great example. Where did Mandarin Oranges originate? China. Go ahead and buy some American knockoffs. Just kidding, but come up with a better example like “I tried to buy some VG donuts at VG’s but they only had imported Rice Cakes!

If I’m not mistaken, don’t Mandarin oranges orignate from Japan?

Nevermind. I checked and they are abundantly grown in Japan.

patientrenter – I won’t go into the very long and easy list to make, but it starts out being made here and then ends up being made elsewhere for less. That basically is the crux of the problem. We are shedding more jobs than weight on The Biggest Loser. We have created and invented many goods that were better. In the end, we lose them to cheap labor.

This could almost be a case toward buying houses. For now, most of it is still made here. LOL.

Edit:

I will agree that we need to advance our technology, for example, perhaps, stem cell. I think China already has a jump start on that.

That’s exactly the problem.

What good does it do us to innovate if our products and ideas are quickly shifted to other manufacturing bases? That’s like trying to win a race while running on a hamster wheel.

Not only that, but there is an endless list of products that were made here, but are now made overseas — NOT because foreign workers build a better product, but ONLY because they provide cheaper labor. That people in many of these countries might look different from Euro-Americans is totally beside the point. The quality of these products has declined greatly as a result of this “globalization.”

I don’t think anyone is opposed to buying products from countries that have the same labor and environmental protections that we have, but can still build a better product for a similar price. Unfortunately, that is NOT what we get with our current version of globalization.
