I’m afraid that I will need to disagree.Paying slave wages to abused workers is the primary problem, not the quality of their plastic junk.
the “primary problem” is me, and you, and anyone else who buys some Chinese knockoff on Amazon for $25 Instead of the made in America one direct from the US business making and selling it.
and, the problem is further compounded when me, and you, and everyone else decides to buy a Chinese made widget from American company 1 verses a US made widget from American company 2 so that we can “save” $20.
we all work hard for our money. That’s true. But, unless or until we all vote with our wallet for our fellow citizens and against knockoffs and cheap imports, it will only get worse.
Do I always buy American? Heck no, it’s virtually impossible, if not totally impossible. But I did just buy a new winter hat today. I had a choice to make...... I specifically hunted for, and found, one made in America. There was a slew of hats made in Asia for 20%-50% less. But I wanted to vote with my wallet.
