US People: Look in your house. Find 10 things made in the US

[Failhorse]

I dare you to take a look. Look at everything. Your TV, washer/dryer, fridge, car, even kitchen cabinets.

The goal is to find apx $5,000 worth of US made products (excluding cars)

Assembled in the US doesn't count. Well technically must include 60% US made to count as "made in the USA."


good luck.

Every $1000 worth of products is 1 job per year for someone.

Does food count?

[johnnyG]

Nope.

[cant speall]

yeah because food production doesnt provide any US jobs so it doesnt count...

[Failhorse]

Actually meglo-farming cost this country 100 billion dollars in the last 15 years.
And we subsidize them.
but no.
Independent farms are where it's at. Every dollar that's invested turns 7 times.

If I hand made it, while living in the US, does it count?

[Echoplex]

Don't forget all of the Americans who get jobs number crunching so that corps can import these slave labor efforts most effectively

We should stop supporting these cheap (slave/sweat) shops for our goods. All of these pissy Americans complain they don't have jerbs, they can start making my chop sticks, cereal bowls, and stuffed animals.

Yeah, big corperations are TOTALLY gonna stop shipping jobs overseas. They love spending more money. Please. Living ones life buying only US made goods would be not only stressful but also hell.
