I still wear clothes I bought in the 1980s ... How many polyester leisure suits do you own? Or is that too early 1980? Bomber jackets and Parachute pants more your style? I was a fashion icon ...

Bomber jackets and Parachute pants more your style? I guess I fall in that category except I still wear wrangler jeans, button down shirts, cowboy boots or work boots. Have no clue what parachute pants are?

I try very hard to buy products made here. That being said I have few qualms about buying from another industrialized country with high Unionization rates like Germany, Canada, and even Japan. If I have to compete I want to compete on a semi level playing field. Not against 3rd world child and sweatshop labor. Also Samsung may make great phones and TVs but their appliances are shit. Total shit. I got a huge discount on a set through work. They lasted a year. The problems all seem to be related to the circuit boards. I have replaced the circuit board in my dishwasher 3 times in 5 years. I got so good at taking apart the dryer I coukd completely tear it down replace the thermistor and fuses and put it back together in 30 minutes. I finally bought an American made set like I should have to begin with. No frills no buttons and digital read out just a plain Jane washer and dryer and they both work and have worked for several years now. I wouldnt buy Samsung appliances. They make great TVs but appliances, esp something you expect to last 20 years. I have Electrolux W/D. Bosch appliances are made in North Carolina. I am sure the circuit boards are not made in the US but maybe in the future. Lots of stuff made in the US still. Still use a Maytag washer and dryer I got back in 1992. Still going.
