I have a Whirlpool fridge in my garage, still running after twentysix years, still does its thing tirelessly ... it was made in the USA. My in kitchen LG comes out of Mexico, possibly made in China. The installers told me to take out the insurance for the first five years since most of the ones they’ve installed have ceased to work at the four to five year mark. Something about the new ‘inverter’ technology ... and there are chips in the brain of that LG fridge, too. I wonder if planned obsolescence has morphed into ‘timed to die technology’?
I want things made in the USA for the jobs it creates. I know that makes me a Marxist to th average Freeper. So be it.
