She found one she like but after she looked at the label she promptly put it back.........."Made in China". We have both made a commitment not to buy any goods made in China. You are going to have to put that "within reason" in there. Many items just are no longer made in the USA by anybody, only made in China. Matches are one, I may have read shoelaces too, or something like that and many of the electrical components that we depend on. But I am with you. You will find many items like that, or parts without, essential products would not be available. China could shut us down in 2 months, all they would have to do is turn all their supply ships around, our society and infrastructure would immediately be effected.. It is sad but true. |

Very little available at some of the major retailers is *not* made in China. |

Very little available at some of the major retailers is *not* made in China. You can find stuff *not* made in China if you are a careful shopper. If I see something I want to buy, I look for country of manufacture. If it says China, it goes back on the shelf. A national boycott of all products made in China and all services provided by workers in countries like India would be a good place to start. If I have to call "tech support" for something and end up "ov er there," I insist upon being transferred to a U.S. facility. I get one at least half the time. I'm not against foreign products. If a product or service comes from a foreign country where the workers earn decent wages and aren't exploited, I have no problem. The last thing I would buy is an expensive boat made in China or in many other low pay places on the Pacific Rim. That boat sells here for high prices...I see no reason to enrich the manufacturer or importer when the workers get paid dirt. |
