I buy things from wherever at the lowest prices that I can find, as long as those things are very necessary or will make my family more self-sufficient soon. ...except for some items that need to be of exceptional durability (e.g., an American-made solar charge controller). In the near future, we won’t be buying anything at all for a decade or so. We need small government and might see that and the end of globalism after the national default.
I’m on the same page, familyop. We need to tighten up and get ready for the ride, the roller coaster’s nearing the final downhill ride, IMO.
Lenin once famously pronounced that: “When we hang the last capitalist it will be with a rope that he sold us.”
With China and Wal Mart I’d like to say that when we finally hang ourselves we’ll buy the Chinese-made rope at Wal Mart.
