That is right. One (1) dock worker tested positive.

If China can't ship their crap over here, what's the problem? Maybe now we can get weaned off their cheaply made junk.
That is a typical response. Fortunately most products are still made in the US. Maybe not electronic stuff, but just about everything that I need is still made in USA. Costs a little, quality does, and it takes some searching but USA products are out there.One would think by this time companies here in the US would start to say, "Hey, we might want to bring back production of stuff here to mitigate these disruptions"
Nope. The construction of a plant here in the US, tooling, and especially labor costs, better to hope for the best and do nothing.

Yrah, I've noticed that a lot too. I guess its still assembled in the US using (mostly) American workers. Better than nothing I suppose. I'd rather keep an American working than a Chinese communist slave.The other thing I see a lot are, Made In The USA, using globally sourced parts.
My Craftsman tool chest has that on the side.
The new line of Craftsman tools are made in China. However when I bought my Craftsman tools I got them from Sears and they say Made in the USA. I'll dig through bins at pawnshop looking for American made tools.The other thing I see a lot are, Made In The USA, using globally sourced parts.

I donāt think any of the brands are anymore. At the minimum the parts are sourced globally.I'm in the process of building a boat and I'm starting to buy the tools I need for this project. I need another cordless drill, clamps and a power plane. The last cordless drill I bought was a Dewalt and it was made in the USA. We'll see if they still are.
I just checked. Many of the Dewalt cordless tools are still made in the US. No doibt from "globally sourced" parts.I donāt think any of the brands are anymore. At the minimum the parts are sourced globally.
When I worked for Boeing, one class we went to was how to spot China copied Boeing parts. Kind'a scary China copping aircraft parts, no QC inspection, just sell it and pray!
