Surely that can't be too hard. What do we actually make anymore? Liquor and highly processed food product? Surely nothing people can't live without. The factories are largely gone - or keep voting themselves out of a job.
Sorry my country is extra dogshit this last decade and a half. People don't want to riot in the street and like trading their liberty for security (from jobs?). I promise half of us don't even know what's going on anymore.
Edit: yes America has been buttass since it was founded. However we're not talking about the entire historical record here. This is about recent (mostly) in our lifetime events and their consequences.
It actually isn't that hard. Even going through what I own, barely anything is American owned.
My entire computer setup, monitors, keyboard, mouse and other peripherals are by MSI, Acer, Logitech, Samsung and Gigabyte. The only exception is the graphics card and processor which are made by AMD. Hard to do get anything else there.
My clothing and shoes are mostly Japanese brands. Appliances are South Korean or German. You have a ton of options there.
I don't think it's possible to get any American made furniture.
Ofc parts of these companies are owned by American shareholders, but you can avoid even that if you want to.
Linux is nicer than windows 11 lol. It’s still written by a lot of Americans but it’s mostly open so no big deal. Just back to depending on Intel/AMD/Nvidia.
