Would you use a "Made in America" filter on Amazon?

The "China benefiting from stimulus money" thread had me thinking about this more.
Normally, I just buy the item that has the best reviews and is competitively priced, but right now, I think I'd do that same due diligence but only comparing American made products to help American companies.
I'm guessing that would be very non-PC and they'd never do that.

Walmart is where you’ll find made in America items

What’s the over under that you continue to do that for the next six months? Three months?

using the filter would not mean you actually buy the "Made In America" product.

Yes...and don't forget using the filter on EBAY.

This should be a thing on social media.

Under on any amount of time.
People love to proclaim their boycotts, but give up one them almost automatically.

I don't really care where it comes from. We benefit from the global economy, not just the local one.
It's honestly pretty selfish to NOT purchase Chinese products because of some questionable things their government did. They have families in need just like we do.

What about assembled in America? Close enough?
Posted on 4/15/20 at 10:58 am to TheCaterpillar
I would certainly, and hopefully if enough people did that, perhaps it would show the people that run things that Americans want to purchase items that were made in America, and companies follow suit.

If it filtered out everything not made in America and I buy an item from the remaining list, yes it would.
This statement confused me

Sure.
Went to Lowe’s to buy some tools and it was amazing how Scruffy literally couldn’t find anything that was made in America.
Was willing to pay more for it too.
