I Love America...........But...........Not Chinese

It is time the people of this country grow a pair and stop supporting the Chinese taking over our country. We have stop buying Chinese made junk. Let companies like Amazon, Nike, Under Armor and others know we will no longer buy China crap. Suck it it up as it might cause you stop buying online and go without some items or spend more to get quality items made in the USA. Some items like you smart phone may not be available as most if any are made here but our manufacturers will get the message over time and we will hire more people. We have to quit supporting retailers that sell Chinese slave labor and using child labor to make our items. Let retailers know you do not want Chinese crap, ask them before you buy if the item is made in China and refuse to buy it.

I am so addicted to Amazon right now though. How can I find out if it’s in made in China?

@Keepitsimple You'll have a hard time finding anything that's [u]not[/u] made in China.

@Keepitsimple They have an ASK A QUESTION part on each of their items so just go there and ask. @helenS It is true you will but it would be better to just drop Amazon and buy local or a different vendor where you can buy USA. Not hard to figure out and if you read my post you might have to go without. Many items we buy are not necessities quite often.

@helenS I know...it just infuriates me but we don’t have enough factories here which we need. It would put a lot of people back to work.

@Keepitsimple I have no idea what an HP pocket calculator (=$10 now) would cost if they were still made in Corvallis, OR.

@helenS Get over it. Would you rather be in a communist country or pay a lttle more to keep what freedom we have left?

@Keepitsimple If you look you can find local places that often make clothing, blankets, jewelry and just things to wear in general. Here in SD we have a lot of native american made items like I previously stated. Also, poor mental deficient [u]helenS[/u] could challenge her brain a little doing it some good by not using a calculator or use pen and paper.

People have to stop being lazy and look. My wife said "well find running tights made in the USA then" Here is what I found: "BOA Running Leggings and Capris - Made in the USA" https://www.boausa.com/collections/tights-capris and there were other sites as follows:

[u]Easy 5 second search I found this[/u]:

"Products Made in the USA Directory" https://americansworking.com/

"Made in America products" https://www.madeinamerica.co/pages/thelist

"Made In America Store" https://madeinamericastore.com/

"Made in the USA for your Kitchen" https://www.vermontcountrystore.com/kitchen/category/made-in-the-usa-kitchen
