Unfortunately, the most glaring problem right now is that "Made in USA" can't even be trusted anymore, because the Federal government is loaded with asshoe's on Xi Jingpooh's payroll that look the other way when a Chinese front company is established here on US soil and slaps "Made in USA" on products that they import from their homeland.
Just because it says "Made in USA", doesn't mean it's actually made, or even assembled, here in the US.
There are several markers that expose a company as a front for Chinese imports, but the problem is that they involve analysis of marketing and business practices that go beyond what the general public has the capacity, or more importantly the will, to learn.
Of note: I have gone through the process of reporting a few companies that I came across that were doing this. That was three years ago. Those companies are still in business, still selling on Amazon, ebay, etc., and still claiming "Made in USA".
