There are, as you have proven, several things made in America.
Let me list the things that I WANTED TO BUY but did not because they were not made in America:
A Dickies full body pullover so I can ride my bike in the winter - made in China.
Ear buds for computer - 7 choices, all made in China.
Halloween stickers for our windows - made in China.
Socket wrench set - made in China.
Blades for my circular saw - made in China.
Something to fix various flat tires - SLIME, made in the USA! Finally, something made in the USA, something I could purchase that would help American workers! And not just enhance the stock value of whatever company owns the Dickies brand name.
I could have spent about $120 on products made in the USA. Instead, if I had purchased everything I listed about $110 would have been for products not made in China.
By shopping at this store, the only workers I would be supporting would be the retailers making probably $7/hr. And the trucker, like my sister, making 40-50,000/year being out on the road 13 out of 14 days. That's right, drive 13 days and get to spend one day at home, before doing it all over again.
So don't piss up my leg and tell me it's raining, pal. You're not fooling anyone.
