Nearly every product you pick up says made in China, Trump is going to make trading with them ‘difficult’. We no longer manufacture the products we now have to import and that includes generic medicines and some name brand ones.
Do we still produce shoes in the USA besides Red Wing work shoes/boots? Nearly every thing from Wal-Mart is made in a foreign country, usually China. Very poor quality crap. Even that expensive bra I just bought from J C Penny’s is made in a FOREIGN COUNTRY. Macy’s is closing stores. Look for Dillard’s to follow. Penny downsized the number of stores. And since I have to travel 90 mins round trip to go to the mall, it is seldom done. I can order off Amazon a lot easier and use Prime with no shipping fees as step daughter put us on her account. Gave Amazon gift cards to the 6 of the 7 grands, 1 Game Stop and 5 great grands. And got hubby’s there too. Bosse mini speakers for the bedroom.
And since they carry little other than food I’d buy I don’t go there often. In fact I don’t even do that. Prices to high. I can buy it cheaper at Kroger’s and get gas points to boot. Or I can go to the Navy Commissary, I’d not save much as their prices are equal to Kroger’s with no gas points. And the 5% Restock fee, can’t offset getting a $1 off up to 35 gallons of gas a month, usually have pts I can give to one of the grown kids. If I want ammo I go to the local Gun store.
Americans like China made stuff because it is in expensive. Trump may adjust the situation but can not make major change
Shoes made in Massachusetts are just too expensive. The economy will force people to go shoeless because the fact. The irreversible fact, is that American business can not compete in the manufacturing of many things.
Then there is the rest of Asia.....
