Luckily we here are outdoors people. Harvest and grow your own. You know where it came from and how it was raised. Pay a little bit more for American stuff. It’s not as simple as I have said. But we all have a choice. Like George said read all of the labels. I’m guilty as we have bought name brand and generic without even reading the labels.
There is still plenty of ways to change how we spend money. I only get fuel at one spot. We have a gas station here in our little town that is still locally owned.
Not long ago I was trying to find a grocery store that was locally owned and couldn’t. That made me realize how far gone this idea might be. How do you rebound from things like that? How do you compete with things like amazon?
How about you Glock fanboys?

Not sure it's possible at this point, Dave. We're too interconnected with the rest of the world and too addicted to cheap goods that as long as something is allowed to be, or can be done/made cheaper somewhere else, or can be bought cheaper from somewhere else, the majority will go that direction.
It does seem that people might be waking up a bit to how expensive "cheap" is, but I'm afraid that once this virus crap is done and things get back to normal (If things get back to normal), people will go right back to not giving a shit.
Joe, I hope you are wrong. I tried to find a local butcher the other day and couldn’t. Sad news all around. The thoughts of opening my own store with a meat market has crossed my mind.
I ain’t trying to get personal with him. I see what’s happened to you!
The key in this thread is the “most” American made. There’s no going back from globalization, not now, not ever. Think, shop, and be local whenever and wherever possible. Short of self seclusion in the wilderness and living like a pioneer there is no way to completely severe ties with multinational companies and interests. Let’s take it a step further and look into where our 401k and pensions are invested. The rabbit hole is never ending
All good points.
I"m cool with having products from other countries as long as the trade is fair and that country doesn't frickin hate us and want to take over the damn world on the back of slave labor and products and ideas are mainly stolen from others naive enough (blinded by greed enough?) to trust them.
As an example, If we can sell American made products in Austria and buy Austrian products in America (e.g., Glocks), and we're good in terms of balanced trade, I don't see the harm in that. Trading with other countries/lands/nations/tribes has been going on forever.
China is just a plain evil frickin country that we need to detangle ourselves from as soon as we possibly can. They aren't interested in fairness, only domination, and it looks like they've done a pretty bang up job of managing to grab this country by its balls. When they realize we want our balls back, I fear we'll be looking at a hot war.
Agreed. I’m all for fair trade, it’s what makes the world go ‘round. No “man” is an island. Greed, however, is an inextricable human condition, thus we are bound to live and mostly die by its inevitable consequences. Globalization in its purest form is utopian and nationalism, unsustainable. The balance lies somewhere in middle, which I’m afraid, is but a long lost pipe dream.
