[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

      Agreed, but his bit about scrubber wire coming off and getting swallowed has made me strongly consider buying one of these.

      Absolutely not. No normal people are buying it. People dedicated to buy in the USA were.

      All those components he purchased were at the best possible price they could give him.

      We don’t have enough manufacturing capability anymore to have internal competition. We can’t compete against china so we don’t even try.

      The owners and stock-holders get the lions share and we’re left paying $2 for a $0.10 bolt.
