Point taken, no I didn't, but they got their way so I got stuck with it anyway.
You seem to contradict yourself with these statements.
At least you weren’t conned and you only buy Chinese when you have to.
vs.
Buy you are buying Chinese and no one is forcing you to do it.
The only way I can avoid funding the Chinese military is to live in a cave, and hunt for my food and clothing. As soon as I get sick, my money will be going to hospitals that use Chinese made equipment or equipment with Chinese made parts anyway, so even with that extreme example, I can't avoid it.
There is no way we can get 100%, but we can influence manufacturing decisions by who we give the profits to. I hope you'll forgive me for trying encourage manufactures to build here by buying products made here. Of course I'm being sarcastic, as I infer you agree with me on that part, regardless of whether we think this was a con.
I agree completely.
America (badly) has completely sold out to China.
We really, really need to stand up for America once again. We will see whether Trump will do that.
Nobody else, in either party, seems inclined to support American manufacturing once again.
BOTH parties are completely sold out. Everyone.
