Do you think only buying products made and produced in North America would have a huge impact on our economy.
I do my best to buy North AMerican
And if so what are some things that we can do
-
Only certain products are all north American. But if we get Mexico more involved, this could work.

people with low or no qualifications are often more prone to be impacted by unemployment. People with rare skills and a decent education, who can lead and have a background in psychology have better places and of course earn more.
They also chose safer jobs from the beginning.

My cousin when to China for 2 weeks. He brought back about 15 custom measured shirts that he bought about $12 each. He did a comparison between the shirts that he bought off the rack here in the US and the custom ones were superior in material and workmanship.
He bought so many things there for pennies on the dollar that even if you factor in the plane ticket he still ahead of the game. For about $5 US you can have a meal fit for a king.
But beyond that Americans are only patriotic when he comes to "physical and immediate threats". In other countries buying "locally" produced goods is the only way to go.
Here is the states no ones gives a fuck where anything is produced. One thing that always amazed me is that for the past 20 years not one high ranking government officially has stated that Americans should buy american goods.
You never see american cars in other countries...never..
hell, we give other countries tax benefits for dumping shit here.

you really are an idiot. SO how do you respond to the fact that I am self employed and I have lost over 500g in sales this past year alone and mostly from the upper crust of society. The economy affects all.

What, you have what it takes to be a teacher, a surgeon, a physician or a manager, but noone wants to hire you? How comes?
I could have gone deeper...and said that the most successful are those who have both well developped intellectual and emotional intelligence... And that you inherit most of your chances to be successful in life from your parents or from some tutors of resiliency you might have met in your life first and foremost.

Lots of rubbish out of China too that isn't at the same quality. However the problem is there are some good factories and they are mass producing so it's going to hurt local jobs (although you have to mention importing creates jobs as well on the ports, unloading, truck drivers for containers etc.)
As for buiying American, it sounds great but the majority of people will go with $$ first

Dude... seriously...stfu. Everyday you re-invent your internet character, judging by most of your posts it seems you're just a teen who understands nothing about life and makes up bullshit stories on a hourly basis cause he has nothing else better to do than watching TV, pick some random society related topic and create a thread about it on a bodybuilding messageboard. You re lying so much almost anything you say has 0 value.
Oh and I dont know many people with a good education who have no jobs, or work shitty jobs. Most of em have good jobs and very good incomes, period. I dont know why you morons need to pretend that "even people with degrees" are struggling to make a living in their fields "nowadays"... It's a myth for morons like you to feel better about themselves. These skilled people are working right now while you're whining on an internet messageboard cause you have nothing worth it to offer to society. Learn some skills and sell em for money then you'll see, you will feel like society needs you and like you have a role, a place in it.

I'm just saying all your posts try to say this happens because this happened, or someone is like this because..... there is more to it than this or that but who i am to say.....
I totally believe i didn't get certain jobs because i was being interviewed by someone who's ego was in the way (like many men)(by this i mean thought they were the greatest and didn't want the challenge) or just jealous of what i looked like. Break it down.................... .

I NEVER ONCE SAID ANY ONE WITH AN EDUCATION WAS UNEMPLOYED OR SUFFERING BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMY. Some however are holding on to their money a little tighter. I am simply saying it would benefit the country at large to buy locally.
And I do not reinvent myself daily you assclown. I simply have a diverse view on things and unlike yourself from time to time post intelligent thoughts and theories

im guessing you have never ben to china. Its not as cheap as you think unless you want to live like the locals. I prefer the finer things in life like freedom and basic human rights.

funny to hear that from a loser who complains his "girlfriend caught him jerking off" on an internet messageboard. Living the life.
My girl just got me rubbing one out on the couch. She went upstairs and hasn't come down yet. I think she is either mad or disgusted lol
Feel like I did something wrong now

I wasn't complaining stupid just making fun of myself and letting others in on a funny moment in my life.
BTW message board is not a compound word and Internet should be spelt with a capital I. lol
You get dumber every time you post

ok Einstein, what is the % of college students that graduate with a good job professional right out of school in 2009, please do tell us!
You sound like a privileged, rich person who inherited their money or has gotten it easily.
And the main topic, people don't buy American because they can get much better quality products and goods from other countries, if our country stopped producing crap products and produced some stuff that was high quality I am sure the average American would buy it.

Ubber point of view is formed solely by his own occupation in his own industry, There are many highly skilled people out of work at the moment, architechts, engineers, anyone who tried their luck ruinning their own buisness, the downturn has effected a lot of them. No doubt there are some recession proof industries, he could be in one, i would have thought such an educated gent would have had a more worldly opinion, who knows maybe he just enjoys getbig as a place for him to feel special being amongst all us common folks. ;D

everything I own is built in North America with the exception of my street bike.
I would NEVER buy a Japanese truck or SUV. Every again. My range rover sport give me so many problems. Every machine i current own is American too.

No recession here and lots of jobs to boot!

He's got far too much tunnel vision to be old enough to have met many people yet. But he thinks he knows it all so who's going to say otherwise.

I buy Hatian products, they need our support.
-
i only buy products made in sweatshops. that way they are naturally pheromone infused.
-
must suck to spend so many years studying in a field where there's no job at the end of the tunnel, I sincerely feel for you. And yeah, never seen anyone having troubles getting recruited in education or health.
I agree tho some people also have diplomas but very poor social skills and just cant fucking pass a job interview to save their life, even in the health or education sectors. But they re one out of 10.

You never see american cars in other countries...never..
hell, we give other countries tax benefits for dumping shit here.
Custom made shirts will almostalways be of better quality than off the rack...But where did he go for the Off the rack shirts? If you say Jos A. Banks, Norstrom's, or Brooks Brothers I call bullshit.
I just bought a 100 pound weight curl set (straight bar with the screw on collars) from Dick's for the home--- i looked on the plates and low and behold, made in China...

If that was true, how come that the Ford Focus is one of the most popular cars in Europe ?
-
Americans know how to
build bows. I've had six
and all from the US. I'm
not even from the us.
They built decent firearms
and outdoor gear as well.
American cars do go well,
but only in a straight line.
Best stuff from america:
Mathews Bows
Winchester pre 64 Mod 70
Zeiss Conquest Rifle scop (assembled in the us)

To a large extent you are right, but to do this in practice would be hard.. so many american products these days are more or less subject to a manufacturing process in china or related countries.

America makes the best guitars, hands down, and I'm not American.

Range Rovers are known to be "problem pits", nice to look at and run up a hill, but owning one is like having a bitchy diva for a girlfriend, at every turn there is a problem.

Almost all the steel used in dumbells, barbells, plates, etc... is imported from China.
