Right, so when the consumers are fine paying double for products MIC there you go.
Thats why Amazon/Walmart make billions. Oh, and you need to pay employees at least minimum wage to provide these services.
China pays less for more.
Min wage is too much & will hurt small biz?

It's way too late, but everybody needs to stop buying ANYTHING made in America.

I looked at some tilapia in the grocery store today. Didn’t buy when I saw it was from China.

I bet you still use AT&T for phone service and Comcast Xfinity for cable and internet. Learn who your real enemies are. Not buying $1 widgets from China won't move the needle. Ditching AT&T and Comcast will.
Easy products to buy not made in China
Not all electronic’s are made in China. India is taking over that field. Even some IPhones are made in India. They usually don’t buy Chinese materials
Furniture
Tools
Light Bulbs
A lot of plastic products
Link to iPhones

The computer/tablet/phone you used to post this absolutely contains rare earth elements mined in China. I expect you to never post again.
But you will.

What the frick are you even babbling about? This thread is about not buying shite from China. You want to talk about burger flippers needing to make 15 bucks per hour, start a thread for that.

Moron, this was a used laptop when I bought it(already explained in this thread, but it appears that you don't understand) for 80 bucks 3 years ago. Keep buying New Chinese shite, you will deserve what you get.

So I have to stop going to wal mart, stop going to sams, throw away my iPhone, buy used items from India, stop using Amazon and buy used goods. Ok - where can I just swallow a bullet?

Keep buying Chinese, they will soon provide you with that bullet and give you express delivery. Then they will charge your relatives for it.

Quit buying from Lowes, Home DeCrap etc. Both sell nothing but cheap made in China home products that don't last.
When we did our remodel we did the research and found everything Made in USA online or ordered or brought from local Hardware stores that carried made in USA.

Exactly, and you can buy some nice old light fixtures and stuff from Habitat Restore too. just needs a little reconditioning/rewiring sometimes, but much better quality.

Exactly what I did. Built our house a year ago. Antique light fixtures, USA made appliances, wood, and a lot of my labor. Got granite countertops for $5 from the habitat store new and built the bath vanities of cherry from a local independent sawmill.

Yeah, the local sawmills are good for finding some nice lumber and you can get some great deals. I have a pretty nice pile of beautiful cedar, that is almost purple that I bought from a local guy. Whole trailer load of different size cuts and a few 4" x10"x 10' beams, 80 bucks for the whole load. Got to decide what to do with it now.
