They went from Buy American to Better Hurry to Get Your Chinese Goods

So I'm not usually a Black Friday person, but seriously folks,

if any big ticket item you will need in the next couple years is made in China, you might want to make that purchase before January.

It hurt but I just bought a fridge (40% off) for their Black Friday sale that's already in place. I knew I was going to have to replace the 10 year old one I have soon, it came with the house and isn't the best at staying closed. So I bit the bullet and did that now before the tariffs hit and make it more than I can afford.

I have a feeling that the days of $300 TVs are over.

I also just renewed my Passport. It's expiring in late 2025 but who knows what changes will be made to the process, under the border czar. You can fully renew online now (take your own pic and everything).

Good luck!

Does anyone else remember the Bush-era DUmp and the endless lists of American companies that they vowed to shop from? Remember when they made even a half-hearted attempt to understand economics?

Now they're racing to get Chinese goods before Trump creates incentives for such goods to be manufactured in this country. They're in a rush to get the lowest possible prices. Which is weird, for a few reasons. I mean, isn't this Biden economy the envy of the world? Shouldn't DUmmies not have to worry about prices? Didn't they used to say they're happy to pay more if it supports American workers?

It's almost like liberals are hypocrites or something.

What moronic Prog conspiracy theory is this post insinuating? In my mind  2 + 2 does not equal refrigerator, so I'm not getting this post.

I have been refrigerator shopping recently and there are two manufacturers that still make them in the U.S.A.

GE makes some of their models in Kentucky.
