Yeah they want made in America with chins prices.
I would say my ball park would be 70% of our customers would buy American if it were the same price, but just don't want their noses rubbed in the fact that their item is made in china, and 30% wouldn't care either way.
The problem isn't that Made in USA is 5% more expensive. It's 25% more expensive, and very few people pay that.
We even did a whole advertising campaign over bringing our big popular product back to the USA. No one cared enough to buy at the higher price.

A fricking infuriates me to no end that people are so cheap. Yet, so fricking stupid with their money.
They would rather buy cheap Chinese product 10X in their lifetime at $50 per unit than a higher-quality American or European product 1X in their lifetime at $150 per.
Chinese payout = $500
Quality payout = $150
The common American has no concept of ROI

Sure, you can also get there with tariffs ... if you are a big government authoritarian.
