Talking about items not made in the US, check out "Still Made in USA.com" website. At least it is a start of where we can find some items.

Sadly, the U.S. is no longer a manufacturing country. Big business chose to move everything overseas in favor of cheap labor and sweat shops.

Hopefully , this pandemic will bring back manufacturing to the USA. We need to distance ourselves from imports as much as possible.

I agree with you all. I would love to see Made in America once again but this would take a complete restructuring of our economy. Major corporations chose to leave and take advantage of slave labor and abominable working conditions overseas. Yes, we got cheap merchandise but the American worker was abandoned. Hence, Walmart nation. There would have to be an overall raise in salaries nationwide to be able to afford goods made here. I would be thrilled to see it but the big money that rules the world is not motivated by patriotism, just their bottom line.

@nevergivesup I agree with all you said. It is just not that easy to do.
