Why buy from the US anyways? Anything quality is expensive as hell, and the rest is either trash consumer grade (read: shitty) products designed by a capitalist more than an engineer, or imported.
We do have exports that people wanted prior. Bourbon, corn, guitars, etc. We have major brands, agricultural products, and other categories that are purchased abroad.
Take a look at the export list. Stuff is there.
Oh, I didn't say we had no exports. I said other places make better stuff. (at least for anything that's not ridiculously expensive in order to pay proper American craftsmen a skilled job's wage)
So the corn exports are... Worse?
Where else can you get Bourbon whisky?
I was trying to demonstrate that your point is sort of juvenile. American products being expensive? Sure. Are there things you can't get elsewhere? Yes. Is everything produced domestically probably worse? That one is just remarkably stupid.
Like I said, shitty OR expensive. Learn to read before you take the asshole's position.
A bottle of four roses bourbon yellow label is neither shitty or expensive.
You sound like an angry 15 year old.
