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. 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. |

There's really only one IMPORTANT chore.....CHANGE THE OIL every 3000 miles and use ONLY the oil the truckers use....Velo from Chevron or Rotella T from Shell. Mine's never had anything but Rotella T in it since the banker who was its first owner got it new....a testament to Rotella's good quality. It STILL uses no oil in 3000 miles and doesn't smoke unless you floor it. Don't let anyone feed you bull**** about synthetic oils and extending the changes out a gazillion miles...It has nothing to do with the oil....it has to do with CARBON CONTAMINATION and UNBURNED FUEL diluting the oil...neither of which $12/quart oil can cure. It's a DIESEL! Always change the oil filter when you change the oil...no matter what anyone says. Makes SURE they DRAIN THE OIL COOLER, too!
