When we buy “easy crap”, usually from countries that pay slave wages, we create the problem we have today. Your money goes to shitheads who slide some of that money to our corrupt politicians to make it more difficult for us to buy “our stuff”. Biden took money from China because he is corrupt...but...we gave that money to China so we deserve our part of the blame. Look in the mirror...sigh...and get to work supporting quality local businesses. It will suck...and be hard...but THIS is the only way we solve this problem into the distant future.

I fight every day to avoid buying from our enemies. I do however still look in the mirror, but only to smile at myself with my MAGA hat on!

Yuuuuup!

And we've painted ourselves into a corner where that cheap shit from China (or from wherever outside the US) is the only option that we have to buy.

Start small. I started with “all things over $100” being only made in USA. I am now at “all things over $50”. It has been tough and requires a lot of online research but makes me feel good doing “my part”.

I would also go a step further. I avoid “blue areas” because I refuse to support stupid. Economic warfare at its most simple...and most effective.
