Can you live off of only “made in USA” items?

From clothes to food to everything in between. I don’t think it’s feasible, manufacturing is a thing of the past.

Can’t get phones or laptops or TVs
Can’t get cars (most aren’t fully made in USA)
I am not sure there are any clothes brands that are solely made in USA

Only mainstream brand I’m aware of that isn’t more expensive vs foreign made is new balance

Plenty of New Balance shoes are now foreign made.

None of the items you listed are necessities. They're luxuries.

I can't right now because my PC gfx card is not American made. But that is to change this year! Maybe I'll upgrade to a MITUSA 5090?

Not sure about completely but, I find myself looking for the made in America label when buying things today. If the company name is some jibberish on Amazon, I will search for the same product that’s American and pay the higher price because I’ve found they last longer.

no, similar to how it’s not possible in modern times to live off of non-petroleum based products…

You are missing the point.
Art of the deal...
This president is renegotiating all kinds of poor arrangements.
We have been leaking huge amounts of money and getting nothing back.
Just keep watching.

The vast majority of your posts seem like they are Made in China... And off brand Chinese at that.

The meme you cited mentions cars which OP mentions in his post.

The list is longer but you're undoubtedly on the right track. This douchebag jizzle#### that is posting like he's on fire lately is riding in the same rickshaw.

Yeah I guess this is the heart of the question…to what extent does it need to be American made?

My car was assembled in America, a lot of the components were sourced from other countries.
