BUY AMERICAN (avoid that made in China)

[CricketOnTheHearth]

I do try to avoid “made in China” products for health, quality, human rights etc reasons, but it is HARD. Most of the stuff that is on offer is made there– it’s either buy Chinese-made, or do without.

I’ve managed to buy a mover’s hand cart and a hammer that were both made in the USA. Both more expensive than the made-in-china ones next to them on the shelf, but also visibly much higher quality.

For those of you that are saying buy American and avoid Chinese-made products… check the back of the very computer that you use to make your stand on the Internet…yeah, it’s made in China.

Own a smartphone such as iPhone, HTC, Nokia, etc? Yeah, they’re made in China too.

I’ll buy American-made products when it makes sense (price, quality, health, durability, etc.) but will not blindly support support this cause.

Aren’t a lot of so called American cars are made with foreign components and assembled in Canada/Mexico?

Just wondering.

I didn’t dig it back up, FWIW. I’m just surprised at the resistance to do it even for a month. But as other posters mention, if people don’t even care what they eat, then foolish of me to have even posted this thread last year. To each their own. It was a suggestion for a month, not for life. Sadly, as some noticed, trying to follow it is difficult and when you look at labels, you will understand why we have NO manufacting jobs here.
