Last trip to the grocery store I couldn’t find any non-US salad kits, and Silk NextMilk is made down there now, because I guess our plants were the listeria ones. Chip dip was surprisingly hard to find too, although I did it.
I’m very pleased with how many vegetables actually come from Mexico (definitely via the US though), and there’s even a few things you can get from greenhouses, so that situation is less dire than I’d expected.
Whoever makes the best quality product against the competition, that’s what I buy regardless of where it’s made.
I have no bone to pick with whatever American company either, but geopolitics is happening. Even boycott aside I expect the value for cost of American products may go abruptly down shortly.
You can vote with your wallet. I don’t consider politics in what I purchase. I buy based on quality of product, not location.
And price, right?
To get a better quality of product, you do have to pay more money to get the quality. Something can be a high price and be a good deal for the money. If the price exceeds the product quality, then don’t buy, but also sometimes buying cheap is too expensive.
Well, if there’s tariffs, the price of US imports goes up and the quality doesn’t, so even if (for instance) you don’t care about other people at all it’s not a good choice. Best to get ready.
Am I not allowed to choose to spend my own cash on higher priced import items if that’s what I choose to do?
I’m a random person on the internet. I don’t make rules at all.
I can say that that would be irrational, if there’s a similar quality item for less. Unless you actually just prefer the US to Canada, in which case I question your trustworthiness as a fellow citizen.
Are you demanding nationalism?
