[orange, proud]
I’m willing to pay more for products MADE IN THE USA because I’m a based patriot who wants to SUPPORT REAL AMERICANS

[green, accusatory]
OK then how about supporting american workers by paying them a living wage?

[orange, dismissively shaking their hands while having a look of absolute disgust on their face]
NO

    I loved it when “smarter every day” decided to make a stand and try to build a grill brush, sourced in the US from all US parts, he couldn’t get some of the trivial parts from known US sources and it was still all over $100

        I miss something? I don’t watch all his stuff, but I haven’t seen him be too horrible, aside from the occasional cluelessness.

          The referenced videos where he tries to scare people into buying his American made $100 BBQ scraper. He drops the “this is because of jobs in the US” facade when he tries to import the chainmail from India and shows that the whole angle was just sinophobia.

            Yeah, the whole video was a bit strange. Interestingly, telling about the US’s current fabrication capabilities. Just about all manufacturing in the US is now pretty dependent upon China, which in itself isn’t a problem, but for a country where a large chunk of the population thinks they can just homestead without fabrication, it’s a wakeup call.

          Yea he’s a bit off…though I haven’t watched him in years and so I couldn’t tell you something accurate about the current him.

          Basically the same sort of thing happened to him as to Veritasium, but in a different way.
