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

don't some auto makers do that? have the parts made in other countries and assemble the vehicle in the U.S. ?

Oh yeah. Components come from all over. Light bulbs from Taiwan, wire harnesses from China, etc.

I think assembled in America would be good enough I guess. Meaning there were American workers that are employed to put things together before shipping to reseller (who would also have to be American I think in my scenario).

So maybe two filters:

- Product Manufactured/Assembled Country
- Reseller Location Country

And the way to get around the PC crowd is to put every country in that filter so anyone in other countries can choose to support their homeland as well.

Just show country of origin. Would prefer made in america, but also wouldn't have a problem buying from Canada, South Korea, Germany, japan, few other European countries. Would like to avoid countries who are our enemies.

Actually a great idea I had never thought of

100% yes

Agree

I already search for "USA" a fair amount

Although in reality I'd happily by from other countries too, and "Not made in China" would probably be equally useful.

I’m not sure you know how things work.

For ease of hypothetical use, let’s take Apple. They make their phones in China. They are an American company. You think that money doesn’t go to them?

I know how things work just fine, thanks.

iPhones wouldn't make the cut. I said "American companies" meaning companies with manufacturing/assembly plants in America for that particular product. You're right, I could've used more words and been more specific, but I thought people would know what I meant. A non-a-hole could've probably deduced what I meant based on the topic of the thread.

But hey, you be you.

Wonderful idea.
100 percent would.

When push comes to shove @ saving money, Americans will dump the filter and go back to buying Chiy'na.

You know it. I know it. Most logical people know it.

I go to this website fairly regularly:

www.madeinamerica.co

Kind of an online directory of stuff made here.
