Amazon must have 40 different filters to choose from when you search for an item, but Made in USA is not one of them. hmmmm

Amazon filters are not even filters. Just suggestions from marketing. Sort price low to high and every 4 items there's a sponsored row of high priced crap.

our rare earth mines have been shut down by the EPA for a while making it so China has a monopoly on that industry. So it makes sense on why its all over there.

GEOTUS is changing that too.

https://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/articles/2020/11/20/mining-company-determined-to-restore-us-rare-earth-supply-chain

MP Materials, which operates the largest rare earth element mines in the Western Hemisphere, had a big week.

It was one of three companies on Nov. 17 to receive Defense Department grants intended to return rare earth production to the United States. The following day it was listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

The Pentagon awarded a Defense Production Act Title III grant worth $9.6 million to MP Materials so it can begin to refine the strategic minerals at its Mountain Pass, California, mine.

“This grant from the DoD is outstanding. It's humbling. And we're very proud of the fact that DoD is supporting us,” James Litinsky, the company's CEO, told National Defense in an interview.

The Mountain Pass mine is the largest producer of rare earth elements in the Western Hemisphere and constitutes 15 percent of the world’s production of the minerals, which are essential to manufacture high performance magnets. China currently has a near monopoly on refining the elements and producing the magnets, which are used in a variety of weapon systems as well as commercial goods such as wind turbines and electric vehicles.

On Sept. 30, President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 13817, which — among other items — seeks to return rare earth production to the United States and break China’s dominance over the supply chain.

For computers, a decent choice is Fujitsu... they DO NOT trust the Chinese, so you'll get components from other asian countries... Vietnam, Malaysia, Korea. Of course there will always be some chinese components, because some stuff is only made there... but at least Fujitsu uses chinese shit as a last resort.

If you can't find what you're looking for made in the USA, then definitely try to buy from countries that aren't China or controlled by China at the very least.

That’s because you’re on Amazon... Hit a Duck Duck Go search for what you’re looking for made in the USA. Very rare I don’t find several good USA made options for anything. Often when looking back Amazon does not have what I find through search, so I just pay the shipping and move along. Likely canceling Prime for this reason

If you look hard enough you will find items not made in China. Support local businesses
