I buy nothing but the good old brand names for aftermarket auto parts and one by one, all say made in china on the package now.
Look around your house. There’s hardly anything that can be replaced that won’t be made in china.
If you do find something made in the USA, Japan, or a European country, it will cost 2-4 times as much.
We can’t compete with third world labor rates and never should have started trading with them.
So true.
Even the idea of paying more for the American-made option has disappeared for many items; that was a choice during the transitional phase as our manufacturing moved to Red China, and now many of those US-made items are no longer manufactured here (the factories closed years ago).
For a large number of items, “American made” doesn’t even exist.
