Made in America No More
2014年7月29日Made in America No More
No wonder our economy is suffering! Yesterday, I began a quest to look for gym shoes. I am a gym rat and go to the gym daily. I don’t like shopping for gym clothes or shoes but after 4 years, there is no tread left on my Reebok’s.
You’d think it would be a no brainer.
Not. Gym shoes are expensive, so I thought the best place to look would be on line. I saw scores of shoes I liked. However, before I took the plunge and placed my order, I wanted to shop size. One of the stores I shopped was Famous Footwear 2014 Latest New Balance 420. I explained to the clerk that I wanted a crosstraining shoe. She navigated to the side of the store where I could find one in every color. I asked about quality and the "best" shoe for the money at that point we began discussing where they are produced.
After researching Wikipedia, I was surprised to learn that everything was made in Asia. Nike, in Vietnam, Asics, Reebok, the list went on and on. I did note, however, that New Balance almost got it right. I did research one visionary; Lasco; How to Make it In America Cheap New Balance NB ML574SNT Royalblue White Black. Here is a man that means business. Despite the high cost of producing in the United States, he refuses to give up. This article addresses every reason why most of our production is overseas.
I never really gave this any thought, but it occurred to me if an industry like this produces everything in Asia, what about all the other products sold in America?
Here’s where it gets really scary.
In researching production, I came across something you have just got to read:
Check out this website to get Robert Barrows poem on It Used to Be Made In America.
His feelings about sum up the situation. Today’s start tech products produced outside of the US: Should we be concerned?
You’re doggone right we should be concerned. For years, I never paid attention the mass production of clothing, goods, services outsourced by American businesses. However, I question whether this number includes the percentage of folks that have given up and stopped looking for a job.
I believe this country needs to mandate that all goods and services can only be produced in the United States. Initially, this may prove disastrous for small businesses, but eventually, it will help put Americans back to work.
We all remember the sweatshops that used children to work roundtheclock to produce our clothing. Besides being a disgrace, I never looked at how that financially impacted our production state side.
I suppose it was easier to sweep under the rug in a good economy. We can’t do this anymore.
So the next time I go out on my shopping jaunts, I will consciously begin to look for where the goods are manufactured. If enough of us boycott goods and services produced outside of the States; I hope we can start to turn around our economy.
