It can be difficult to find made in USA products, but I’m hopeful that more and more manufacturing will return/begin anew in the USA thanks be to Trump.

What I do ALSO focus on is supporting small business! I will absolutely pay a premium to purchase say my golf carts fuel filters and spark plug from the local business instead of Amazon. Same for my mower parts.

It would be REALLY useful if Amazon added an option to filter for stuff made in the US.

I wonder what it would take to make that happen? Any one here hang out with Jeff Bezos?

He isn't going to add that. Then he might get blocked from the China market by the government

World manufacturing of light industrial goods is dominated by China. I don’t know if a traditional customer boycott could be effective. I think it’ll take an effort by governments to punish them.


What are all those pre-teens going to do if China’s manufacturing sector comes to a halt? And what about the Mardi Gras beads? No beads, no boobs.

When I need something I buy it. I don't care where it comes from. I prefer to buy USA made products but I'm not going out of my way either.

True dat. I ran into some Korean Mail Order brides who were actually Chinese or Chinese mix but registered on the Korean site due to the higher status and potential for better husband prospects.

Japan > S. Korea > China > Vietnam

You really need to be careful, especially Americans who don't know the cultural differences. Lot's of mixes in there posing.
