What are we doing buying that stuff from China anyway? We have it here.. whose idea was it to pay china and import?
When i was a kid, china goods were inferior.. way below our standards.. we made china a lot of money in their idea of free trade.
Their stuff still sucks.
We buy their stuff because, for some odd reason, it’s cheaper to send raw materials to China, have them process-package-whatever it, and then ship it back to the US.
I’m thinking, if we really, really need to send out stuff someplace, only to have it come back here, ready for sale, why not have Central and South America start putting up factories. Give those folks jobs, hopefully slow down the invasion from the South and cut down on transportation costs.
Made in Japan meant cheap junk when I was a kid. But then the quality got way better.
Same thing is happening with Chinese goods.
We better get back to Made in the USA very quickly.
