I know some hard core protectionist such as my brother in law who is a electrician. However even he buys goods made in China. We were doing an addition to my house and we went to Lowes to get some materials. Did he or I look at every single item and look for the made in China label?
No. We wanted to get a 6 hour job done and not look at labels for 2 hours.
We both try to buy Made in America products as much as possible but we also have a life and realize we cannot spend precious hours of each day comparing labels.
If you have truly only bought 2-3 items made in China since 1989, and you remember what they were, which I really doubt, you need hardcore professional pschyiatric help. There is a serious mental illness involved.
I did buy some socks at T.J.Maxx yesterday, so I wouldn’t have to walk in my bare feet this winter. Made in U.S.A. (Gold Toe). I’m heading out to the grocery store in a short while, I’ll let you know where my garlic comes from . . . I don’t drink apple juice from concentrate, I drink apple juice made in U.S.A. with U.S.-grown apples (Indian Summer). I don’t eat catfish, I’ll let you know the next time I buy shrimp (which is rarely). My honey comes from May’s Honey Farms in Harvard, Illinois.
