AMERICA!!!!!!!!

Back in the 1970s, I used to see a lot of cars with bumper
stickers
saying "Buy What America Builds." They didn't understand then, any
more than you do
now. The U.S. auto makers went into the toilet because it took
them
-- and the UAW -- twenty years to get the message that they needed
to *build* what America *buys*.

Yes, and between then and now they've made these ridiculous pension
deals with the UAW. That's already dealing a death blow to the US
Auto Manufactures. I just don't like the fact you can't even go
into
a hardware store and buy a decent SCREW!!! What is this world
coming to???????

Or anything else for that matter.

I don't know what is is with you people that you can't find decent
products. Maybe if you worried more about function and less about
place of manufacture you'd be happier.

--
The reason for worry about the place of manufacture is probably due to
our experience with crap from said place of manufacture.

Personally, I was never one to blindly buy American, only America, no
matter what. Whoever made the best for the money got my business.
That meant no American cars, but some pretty good American tools (just
2 examples). Today, you can't find much not made in China, and I've
become one who looks for the "Made In USA" (or Europe) sticker 'cause
most of the junk from China is just that.

My IBM T41 ThinkPad was made in China - it's beautifully engineered.
(Actually made by Lenovo but at that time was still allowed to put IBM badge on it.)
