Most everything we 'make' comes from pieces and parts from everywhere because Usa has no production and is yearssss away from a viable source of income from production. Plus our wages far, far outpace other countries. People complained not long ago about giving cost of living wages to fast food workers because their food would cost more!! Those people are not paying more for American made.. they don't even want to pay taxes👌

We need to keep pushing for American made until we are able to produce everything.

We want high wages and good benefits AND we want cheap goods. Do the math. We have gotten greedy on having stuff on the backs of poor countries.

Except for the seamstress, everything in this picture is not made in America. Tariffing everything won't change that.

Half of the countries on some sort of aid. Which is why our taxes are so high. Turns out all the free crap cost a lot.

Sewing is a real skill that nobody in this country appreciates. That need to change and we need to teach our labor force that hard work is good work and it needs to be rewarded with good pay.

Maybe we should have kept manufacturing here instead of shipping it off to other countries? 😑

Still buying Cigs and Tomatoes made in Mexico when I live in NC (hq of tobacco companies). Oranges still from South Africa when Florida is closer. They take 68 days to get here and are molded by then. When will I be able to get USA products again? Can't wait.

Buying American won’t help because we still have to import most raw materials.
