Yes, but never again. YMMV, I did a write up on it here.

welcome to the united states of china. our crooked ass politicians have sold out our country to the chinese. we a need make it here, buy it here ideology in this country.
I mean, I can't disagree, but, the average person has also allowed it to happen and happily traded quality for price, sadly.

Growing up, everyone in my generation wanted to be a movie star or famous football star. The generation before me was astronauts. The generation after me was to be a famous YouTuber. Now we have influencer.
God, I hate that term so much. You're essentially a walking advertisement with no brain and your only job is to post ads for products you don't know jack shit about. (I am friends with a lot of them in the offroad community and they are insufferable people with their nose stuck in their phone 24/7. 80% of them are your typical Toyota folks)
Consumers drive that. People need to stop buying the cheapest shit they can find. Maybe delay gratification until they can afford to buy a higher priced American made product.
Shit. I almost ordered Bartacts last week but decided to hold off, glad I did now. Thanks to everyone for the alternative suggestions.
I agree which is why I try to research what I buy and spend more on products to support our USA job force (when I can) ...
BUY AMERICAN when you can....
That's what I've done for quite a while now but sometimes I wonder if I'm just wasting money trying to save "Made in America" while a grossly high percentage of my so called Fellow Americans keep fighting against that.
Worse than that, US trade with china is pretty much a one way street and our asshole politicians seem to be the ones directing the traffic.
All the while, talking tough in regards to a potential future armed conflict with the same. Nuclear options aside (they've got them as well), they'd win on the numbers alone.
We don't make a whole lot here anymore because they've allowed US companies to outsource work overseas to fatten their bottom lines, which is good for investors (many of whom are the very same asshole politicians). If we declared war on China tomorrow or the Chinese just decided to stop making and sending goods to the US, we'd likely be royally fucked.
A good start would be:
- Removing politics from leadership and governance. It has no place there and serves no genuine purpose, other than for those it employs (the aforementioned assholes). This will actually solve many issues we suffer from these days.
- Make it illegal for anyone serving in public office, as well as their immediate families (minimum) to be invested in anything, certainly not a sector they're directly involved in legislating. This activity is nothing short of legal insider trading. Serving in public office is a privilege, not a career path, and should not be a conduit to absurdly increasing one's wealth at the cost of the country.
- Heavily tax/financially penalize any company who outsources, forcing them to bring the labor back to the states. They only understand things when it hits them hard in the wallet.

Problem is the ones that need regulating are the ones writing the regulations.
Maybe some Regulators to help them in their decision making process. Any volunteers?
Ya but they harvest the food. Those whiny millenials yall hate are going to cost a lot more to do the same work. $10 cash under the table per hour vs $15 on the books. And good luck finding people who would rather break their backs picking potatoes than work a register for the same pay. I'd rather have illegals and cheap potatoes than less illegals and expensive potatoes. Just my 2 cents.

Maybe, but I think that the 7.2 MILLION of them, which is more than the population of 36 of our 50 states, that have invaded our country in the last three and a half years is just a few more than we need for that sort of thing.
Maybe you'd like the Governor of Texas to start shipping some more of them up there. It's worked out SO well for New York, Chicago, Boston, etc.
The illegals also come with a cost.
Exchanging national sovereignty for cheap potatoes? That is pathetic. I'd rather have the 30 million illegal aliens deported from the country. We have a visa program for legal migrants who want to come here and earn money for their families in their home countries.
never thought I’d see the immigration crisis get solved in a thread about bartact seat covers.

You'd be amazed at the world problems that get solved around here. Trouble is that after we solve them, nobody in power implements the solution.
This is what happens when liberals deemphasize history. We didn’t show up in 1830.
It’s an absolute tragedy that people in this country don’t even know their own history.

i’m kinda like how the fuck did we get here from where this started myself. smdh!
Yup I think we can call this officially derailed. Good luck with your Bartacts or whatever route you go.
I haven't had much issue with the tread pattern imprinting on my arm BUT my Maine Summers are much different then your Texas Summers so heat might be an issue.
