USA shipping containers companies shipping empty containers back to China hurting USA farmers

The problem is these days made in America vs made in China DOES NOT always mean made in America is a better product.

These days it's almost impossible to find anything actually made in one place.

It's one of the consequences of globalization.

It's "made in American, from Chinese, Mexican, Japanese, and and German parts"

Likely yes that’s the case. There are zero made in America cars/trucks. Best one I think is the Toyota Tundra. It’s all assembled in the USA I doubt all parts made in USA. Many parts are made in USA then sent to other countries for assembly.

Raw materials from one country are refined in others, made into parts in yet more, combined into sub assemblies in even more.

Does it even matter where the last bolt is tightened ?

I was just stating that just because something is made in America does not mean it is better quality than something not made in the USA.

One other point on Made in America... Some products have been regulated so badly & heavily that they are 'pertner impossible to be made in America. Consumer 1.4g fireworks being one example. Mostly 1.3g professional too.

They are kind of an all in one shop. They have everything from canned foods, Tupperware, grills, fire pits, guns, ammo and everything in between. The one off the 400 in Elma NY is the main flagship store and his welding fab shop is across the street.
Here is the link. Not sure if they ship but I’d imagine they do. Again the owner is a great guy and that means a lot to me as well.

upon looking they ship and have an Amazon store. Check out his about is page.

Thank you. I was actually thinking about his welding / fabrication as well. I have a couple of projects that could use someone with that background.

Yes we have China huge power with our enviro regulations. So sad we shoot ourselves in the foot regularly and they are drooling to get a leg up on us.
The instance I’m referring to is the magnet that is in every electronic device that a company in California developed. CA said nope can’t do it that way. You have to be kinder to the environment. The company went out of business and China bought the company. Along with the company came the patent to the magnets. Now they hold all the power and the only place on earth that makes them.
