The United States is Experiencing Something Unique in History
Made in the USA

At the supermarket in San Jose, CA finding potatoes is a bit difficult if they all go to the restaurants. I'm considering getting produce boxes. We are evolving because of Covid-19, as a planet in general, although the scope of this article focuses on the United States. World War III is about manufacturing, the where and how of it. If manufacturing takes place in China, and not in the United States, we are not doing ourselves a favor. Things have to be made in the USA again for one, if we expect the economy to improve. Has anybody ever asked themselves why things are made in China a lot?
It's like a take-over plot, sucker the Americans with brainwashing them into buying cheap labor in China. We slowly buy American companies, we take over without them even noticing our subtle effort to make sure all goods are made in China since Americans are lazy about manufacturing anyway. China is a monster that has taken over whole countries' manufacturing process. Why is that? Although I have found teacups made in England that my family brought home one day, which was a relief from the stress that goods made in China provoke in me.
To turn the tide of "everything is made in China now," I did a Google search on American companies, and found Clark.com, which has a list of made in the USA stuff. Clothing companies like All American Clothing and All American Jeans, are on this list. Brands I do not regularly buy are on this list, and I'm rethinking that tendency right now. Hanky Panky sells underwear, of all kinds. One big problem people have with made in the USA is that brands are often very expensive. However, I'm really wanting to buy shoes that were made in the USA. I have new sandals I need to break in for one.
MunroShoes.com has shoes in a size four, which I need, and that pisses me off that many companies do not cater to my size. I can't help my shoe size, or the need to find shoes that do not look like they come from the kid's section. Although I notice the shoes in this company, are all black. I'm going to have to do a lot more research for my shoe business. Beauty and personal care is another category on Clark.com, featuring Made in the USA lines.
There are furniture and cookware goods available, in this category that includes home goods. A drawback with purchasing things online is that you cannot find specific Made in the USA brands, and at this point I'm willing to spend more money to make sure I buy Made in the USA brands. Ebay just showed me a made it the USA Dutch oven that I can get for $90. Handbags and accessories has Farm to Feet as one socks company, built on the premise of having an American supply chain. There are even Made in the USA furniture companies.
There is a reason why I prefer eBay to Amazon and that is because of a higher instance of Made in the USA goods. Electronics can also be made in the USA, so can tools, and then Clark.com has an other category. Clark.com itself is an advice website, for money or product shopping guides. To bring back money into the United States, we have to start shopping made in the USA products. This is a given, a constant, and a necessity. I'm fed up with buying made in China goods. Other websites besides Amazon are coming out eventually and Jeff Bezos, the richest man on the planet, is going to have competition.
It may feel weird to him to face this reality. But it is coming or at least this is what I foresee. Made in the USA should be a thing that everybody takes on as a priority. I have a list going of stuff I need to buy, and I want everything I buy to be made in the USA. It's why I don't bother going to the store, but I need more pans to make casseroles in. That can be bought at the store.
