    Taking away cheap Chinese goods might be one of the few things that will wake a few Americans up?

        Hard to match cost when labor rights such as minimum wage exist, maybe Trump and Elon will get rid of those too though.

            I’m just replying to the “quality and cost” part of your post, which are inherently paired. Yes some products just don’t exist being made in the US, but if the store has a product that costs twice as much made domestically sitting next to a foreign product of the same or close enough quality, the price alone will dictate which they choose. This is often why domestically made versions of products aren’t available without a special order (which is even more expensive) and where tariffs are supposed to be used.

              often times the “American made” product will just have worse quality and cost more

        comparable in quality and cost.

        So you want (more) slave labor.

      Americans aren’t going to wake up. They are gonna keep bowing down and eating shit.

      It’s really impressive how passive Americans have become.

      We can only hope. I’m open for anything at this point. $6/dozen eggs didn’t do it, even thought most voted for Trump to do a grocery, which he hasn’t done yet…
