    This is what I try to tell people who just want the cheapest things possible. We’re voting with our dollars what kind of world we want.

    Ok, please tell me where can I buy that’s wasn’t totally or partially made in China??

    I’m an avid learner and DIY, I try to only buy raw materials and tools to make everything I can myself … I have yet to see standard basic tools that were not made in China…

    I understand your point, but to expect that “voting with your wallet” will cause change, is like hoping we can turn around a cruise ship by blowing at it

    Just look at the enshitification of everything… Did people vote that in with their wallets? Or all services decided that on greed and left us no choice but to hold our noses or give up the last few vestiges of entertainment that we could still afford?
