My only real votes are called dollar bills. What are you buying today?

Clothes?
Tools?
Dishes?
Furniture?

We make it all baby, and if you take the time to google it, prices can be pretty close and sometimes even the same. Just cut out the middle man---the snake---the big box store.

Since I'm a patriotic American I've made a a point of supporting and buying American-made products for many, many years. Today, like every day, I refused to buy any foreign-made item the Trump family sells so they can be even richer. Of course I'd also refuse to buy anything Trump-related if it was by some odd chance made in the U.S. because I've thought Trump was a Grade-A jerk since the 80's.

When are the Trump's going to do their part? Trump wears suits made in Italy.

And before some genius comes on and mention electronics, understand that no one expects the US to control every single manufactured good on the planet.

So you ask every merchant, scrutinize every packaging label, to find out where it's made? Ten to one, China.

It can be difficult and impossible at times but try and make the effort. I bought my Father a leather jacket last year for Christmas. Problem there was the price, most were $600+ and most were more a dressy jacket. I ended up at this site for company in Florida and bought him this one, really nice jacket. The pictures do not do it justice. Most of what they have are motorcycle jackets but this one is more casual.

Took a while to get it and had to return the first one no questions asked because it didn't fit right.

Just out of morbid curiosity, what exactly is a motorcycle jacket if not casual?

My American flag was made in NJ.

Yes. I know, literally where everything I buy is from. And usually which city in the US as well.

The worse thing to do for the US is to purchase products just because they are made in the US.
