Before I make a purchase, I ask myself these questions:

  1. Do I really need it?
  2. Is it made in the USA?
  3. Who made it?
  4. If I don't like who made it or where it was made, do I really need it?

Do we give ourselves enough time to really consider the things we buy and how our purchases keep that company viable even if that company actively behaves against our views and principles? Ever since that Gillette ad came out attacking masculinity, not a single Proctor & Gamble product has come into my home. You know what? I don't even notice.

I implore you, fellow 'pedes. Ask yourselves the question about the things you buy. You may find that you really don't need them, and so why give money to enemies for things we don't need? Don't buy into their system.

Since making the commitment to "made in the USA", or at least not "made in china".My quality of life improved.

Henry rifles, if you dont have one get one.

When I use ebay I click "made in America.'

Half of the time item, sent from states, still has a ChiCom name on it.

I notice that a lot of American distributers try to classify their goods as American made when those goods are actually made elsewhere. I'm always on the look out for that. We need an Amazon type service for American Made products only.
