Non-American here: Made in USA isn’t a marker for quality. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. These days, I make an effort to not buy products that are made in the US.


which products/category of products do you (chose not to) buy that are made in the US?


US-made Teslas for one. Panels that don’t align. Doors that won’t close. Sloppy paint job. Doesn’t apply to the ones from Shanghai. Go figure.


I do still buy services, software, entertainment, raw materials, agricultural products. Machines (including cars) or generally anything complex that requires manual assembling? Rather not. And it’s not for the lack of trying. Like that expensive KitchenAid mixer. Motor burned out after 6 months.
