lookup the chinese industrial revolution.
look at how the take over steel, concrete, pork bellies, etc.

they live, we sleep

you're literally buying chinese shit and it's branded as american under some technicality.  in some form it's coming from china. it could be down to the base elements to the various components to it being entirely created and assembled there except for 1 operation in the usa.

I've worked in manufacturing for 28 years and I have a lot of experience with a lot of different things.  china does it better. my former company tried for almost 10 years to have an american made company make something simple with no flaws for a decent price.  they could not do it correctly 75% of the time.  they sure sent nice gift baskets during christmas, though.

I've seen it all and i've worked for the big names.  You would be surprised.
you are NOT buying american.
