When most of this demo was buying US...Union built...products, cars included, didn’t seem to be an issue. Now that the economy is shaky and we have had no problems buying and supporting Chinese based products made by workers making a pittance and in less than desirable conditions....for decades. Of course it costs more for union built products.....better wages, benefits, workplace safety and IMO product safety. So my earlier comments are based on our daily reliance on the very items we all use...that originate in China. The steel used for new commercial construction, your Nike’s, your smartphones....pharmaceuticals and on and on. I’m personally fine with paying more, using union labor and keeping manufacturing and jobs....here. Remember, you get what you pay for in life. Doesn’t always mean it’s better but you at least can control most of the narrative
