I have favorite brands I shop for on QVS. None of them are made in the USA. I will think twice before purchasing them in the future. Let's keep our mills busy and keep manufacturing at home.

We have few, if any, mills and mass manufacturing is not done in homes.  Your ideas are impractical.  There's a reason most manufacturing, especially of clothing, is done overseas.

@Kachina624, I think @Jww means at home as in the United States.

[Jww]

Of course I know why manufacturing, especially clothing, is done over seas!  That is not my point. In our current situation, shouldn't we think of employing Americans and keep our business here. It would only strengthen our economy. And, I never implied that the work was done in homes!  Look at the bigger picture.

Thank you

If we had the facilities, which we don't, it would cause a significant increase in prices because labor would be much higher.  I'm not sure we have a workforce in the US where women (mostly) are willing to be sewing machine operators.  We have been conditioned to expect more.

Welcome and good evening, 

There is a website named DoneGood.co that offers a variety of items made in the United States. 

You will need to select the U.S. as your choice on the site. 

There are many other companies that aren’t listed on the site also.

I agree, but we may have to change our thinking in the case of vital things like ventilators.

Would anybody want their children doing piece-work in a sweat shop?

Right, just let the Chinese kids do it. 🙄
