I just ordered the made in USA version of the Firebox wood stove and willingly paid $40.00 more for it than the made in China version from Amazon.....

Neat cooking wood stove and a million you tube videos of this guy cooking for his family on it

Yes, we DO need to return manufacturing capability to the US, even though it will cost more. We out-sourced too much in the name of less expensive goods and lost control over our supply lines.

Cost is a relative value. The price we're paying now must be a factor.

Not trying to argue, but how is that going to help? Do you really think they would pay a dime?



Subtract it from any debt they owe China. It's a way of hurting them, and it only needs a court judgement to justify.

We need a reckoning!


If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

I wish Congress and Trump would pass a law creating a US Strategic Manufacturing Security act..

Basically we have a MINIMAL manufactiring capability within The USA of certain vital basic Military and Civilian materials

The plants would be registered as first choise US DEOT IDEFENSE DEPT suppliers.

Ni more foreign made Uniforms, Food, Optics ,Arms Ammo .

NADA.

Comlanies like Leupold and Nightirce will be directed to form a US Ioricak glass consorteum to make ALL OPTICAL GLASS used in US DEFENSE PRODUCTS in the USA. Or if Ziess or Schott wants to build a US plant to supply them glass, then fine.

No 100 % content - no lucrative military contacts

And before someone tells me that is "impossible" , well if Weaver could make perfectly useable 100% US made scopes in ELPaso, Texas using 1970s technology than I think the arrogant cake eaters at Leupold could do so in Beaverton Oregon in 2020.

The Chinese? Such warm, considerate, caring people (ok, sarcasm font off).

I mean, who doesn’t like it when your standing on a street corner in NY, and a 80yo Asian man is standing at the curb, with his hand covering one nostril, and he’s blowing snot out of his other nostril. True story, pre dates the Covid crap.

.... lovely people.

Who is responsible for this current virus?
Is it the same country responsible for American deaths in Nam?

We need to stop looking at manufacturing jobs as something only those not smart enough for college can do. That was the downfall that started this country down the current path more than 50 years ago. Henry Ford began that way of thinking with his statement that "the average working man had no more intelligence than an ox". Not everyone needs to go to college, with the increase in sophistication brought about by computers in manufacturing there is a need for intelligent employees.

Good for him. I've been saying this for 30 years.

Only already open eyes, sadly...

The American public is addicted to Chinese cheap toys, like cell phones, game consoles, etc. Average American is soft, ignorant, and addicted.
