How much of anything is manufactured in America now? Very little the globalists took our country apart piece by piece and now there’s little left.

Well, theres always polyester.
Polyester is derived from petroleum, which is also going up in price.

With the price of feed corn going up thanks to ethanol production, we may all get to try hamburger helper with the helper by itself.

Just the thought of wearing 100% polyester makes my skin itch.
Guess all our jeans now line-dry and the dryer gets used less than ever.
