To each his own. Yup my company did too. We literally caused hundreds of thousands of American jobs to be shipped out of the USA. I participated in industries where a place like GE Appliance Park in Louisville, KY went from 25,000 employes to less than 3,000. Another example is the machine tool industry...there was, once upon a time thousands of small and large machine tool manufactures here in the USA and now there are less than 300.
Not to mention all the supplier and support jobs that went away as well.
All in the name of increased profitability.......good for the company....bad for we the people.
Buying American is not "crap" for many of us.
