I take it you don’t have a factory job that pays minimum wage here in the good ole US of A. Would you pay double or triple for something of equal quality to have it stamped made in USA? Made in China is not something most shoppers care about these days. They want value for the dollar spent no matter where it’s made. There are better ways to MAGA than having more minimum wage factory jobs. Even at that goods produced by our minimum wage labor will never be competitive with cheap foreign labor. Time to get over it.

I was looking at a newspaper from the 1980’s recently. They was an advertisement for standard lawn mowers for well over $200. That pencils out to around $500 in 2018 dollars. They looked like a made in china mower that you can get for for $100-$150 these days. I don’t think people realize how expensive everything would be if all consumer goods were made here.
