Meh, it's hard to be ALL on the American consumer when groups with money and a vested interest in taking the blame off themselves have spent billions to change public opinion. The entire idea of a "litterbug" was to take the responsibility of producing reusable containers off the manufacturer and instead put it on the consumer for not disposing of the single use containers properly. The "buy American" is a similar thing where companies put production over seas, lowered cost, took the difference as profit thereby taking it away from the workers, then blamed the workers with less money for not buying American with their more limited funds.

If it's on the individual (the american consumer) then it can also be put on the individuals who sent their production over seas.

High tech is different than making shirts.

Making shirts leads to making high tech

So how do you give the american worker decent wage making shirts
same goes for high tech

High tech we have a competitive advantage and we can export while maintaining decent jobs in the US. Last I heard if you’re working at intel or amd you’re okay financially.

We no longer have a competitive advantage in making shirts so why do so when we can focus on things which have better margins?

Ok. I thought you were saying we could be competitive at both in the US I don’t think that’s possible on the “shirt” side. Walmart will bash you

Masks still aren't proven by science to make a significant different in health outcomes or spread. Some studies say they do worse.

Yea that's why all the doctors in hospitals don't wear 'em.
