Are you kidding me man? Plastic lawn furniture?...
I am in construction, and just about everything I buy it’s origin is from a foreign country. Gypsum products-canada, Wood-Canada, every fastener and screw-China, the list is HUGE.
Trade deficit? Explain that to a laymen if you will....
Ok, you are beginning to grasp your cognitive problem: you think that because you see some Canadian sheetrock, that American sheetrock doesn't exist. Not "is available from another distributor down the street," but doesn't exist. Ditto for your fasteners and whatnot . . . if you don't like Chinese fasteners (and they are crap), then why don't you use another brand? What's stopping you?
