You may not find a USA made one right now. That is the point if the tariff. You do not get free access to third world labor. Your economic freedoms end at the border. As it should. Get it?

Chick fil A exploded in 2012 when conservatives flooded in to support them.
The heirs return the favor by telling us to shine BLM shoes and kneel, flipped the finger to FCA, supported a pedo founded runaway shelter, and replaced the coleslaw with dirt flavored kale to make millennial females happy.

Times change, and CFA deserves no loyalty from conservatives. They wanted on college campuses, so they turned their back on us and embraced globohomo.

You can buy 3rd world made keyboards all you want. Just pay the tariff and shut up.

So jail is the appropriate response, huh? And here I thought the Democrats were the fascists.

over political BS

I agree.

This OVERREACTION is way over the top.

As a consumer I want transparency and truth in labeling.

As long as the labeling is not fake labeling, I'm willing to roll with it.

I FULLY support Trump and his tariffs because Trump is trying to mitigate the fallout from the UNIPARTY decision to embrace globalism and the NWO with NAFTA.

I understand some folk's ox is being gored and they have freedom of speech to speak out against tariffs, that is the American way.

Bezos is a businessman and I don't take exception with his actions which seems as much about business practice as politics.

It’s a Christian company that still stays closed on Sundays - that’s enough for me - and hopefully enough to keep democrats away...

I’ve seen Chinese crap get through the eBay filter. The last time I used their “country of manufacturer” filter some of the items actually said “from China” in the list view description.

If the President follows through on using the revenue from tariff collection to lower taxes for low/middle income Americans, it would drive home the benefits of having a tariff regime in the first place.

They are woke. They pander to every left wing cause out there now. Go if you like their sandwich, but don’t delude yourself into thinking they are Christian anymore. Not since the old man died in 2014.

If buying on Amazon, do a CTRL + F and search on ORIGIN and it will tell you the country.

Well it does include locking up your political opponents. For no legitimate reason. “Election Interference”... for publicizing the cost of a tariff. Yeah, thats a rational response.

It's a hostile act.

The joke to a lot of this is that many items pieces and parts are made in China and elsewhere and then sent to America to be assembled here in the US.

What determines country of origin?

What does “hostile” mean? Treasonous? Are we supposed to bow down to everything the government does? I personally think a little hostility towards government is always a good thing.

Sorry. Amazon is like Chic-fil-A. Their service is too good to cancel over political BS.

Exactly. I’m not canceling my Amazon.

And if consumer prices go through the roof, Trump will have a real problem on his hands. FReepers here can delude themselves otherwise but Americans vote with their wallets. Always have.

That is true. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve ordered something that I thought was in country only to find out it came from overseas.

I’m sure Amazon will add a “made America” filter too?

I use "made in USA" in most of my amazon searches, and while it does help pull up some items made here, it is also littered with chinese crap. I suspect they include "made in USA" n the meta data of many chinese items.

What I want is the ability to filter items, both exclude and include, by country of manufacture.
