Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6 a.m. While his coffee pot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG). He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA).
After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA) he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA) he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY) and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.
At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day, Joe decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in AMERICA.

Sad but true.....
ReplyDeleteInteresting..it's sad to say that the American people do buy products made in other countries because they're cheaper and with inflation as it is, people just get what they can afford.
ReplyDeleteLook at these American car companies..it's PATHETIC!!!...The "normal" human cannot affort an Am. vehicle..the overhead costs are outrageous...it's 4x's the price of the car.
Good post Anne..it is sad, but maybe America needs to take another good look at their people..Have a great day!!!
I use to avoid buying things imported from other countries, but it's gotten down right impossible. And it's going to get worse. I don't blame this on "Joe", I blame this on Corporate America trying to make .005 cents more on an item by producing it overseas. The one exception is the car I drive, which is Japanese, (BUT it was manufactured in Michigan!). Unfortunately it seems like "American Made" doesn't guarantee quality anymore like it used to.
