American made stuff

[davidsky]

I've been randomly walking around the local stores looking for stuff that's made in the US. It's pretty tough.
An alternative is to find stuff that's at least made in a country that has decent working conditions like Germany
I looked at;
electric shavers- no American ones. High end Norelco is made in Holland and high end Braun is made in Germany.
The only shaver available that's made in the US is Wahl.
Coffee Makers- BUNN is the only one made in the US
Toasters- all Chinese
Scotch brand tape is made in the US- cheapy brands are from Mexico or China
PaperMate wood Pencils are US
Crayola Crayons are US
A lot of jigsaw puzzles are made in the US- best to check
Mead FiveStar products are made in the US- some cheaper brands and mead products are Chinese
I could not find an American made winter hat.

Now think about these $600 stimulus checks, it's a win-win for China.  They are buying the US bonds to make this possible, and when people receive their checks they're going to go spend it all on "Made in China" goods!

True, I'm going to try to spend it all on US made stuff but by then I may have to spend it all on my overpriced health insurance!
