After the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided (it will never be over) would you be willing to pay more for products Made in the USA, Built in the USA, Manufactured In the USA?

Note: Iphone and Smartphone and other digital products are manufactured in China, Taiwan, and Asia predominantly.

iPhones already cost too much.

I say we tell China to fuck itself.

After this I will go out of my way to look at labels (on things I can) to make sure I DON'T buy anything from China. Again, fuck them.

yes

No, won’t think about it

Do we have a grand plan to magically start producing the items we buy from China? 

We're too reliant, that won't change anytime soon. I always try to buy US made, but I won't lose any sleep over it.

I can't remember the last time I looked to see where something is made and probably haven't even noticed unless I'm ordering a shirt online and see that the price is in pounds instead of dollars. If I want something, I buy it and that's usually all the thought I need to put into it.

It depends on if we pull our manufacturing back from China.  Right now it is impossible to buy some things not made in China - literally impossible.  

Yes. 
 

Also Homage shirts made outside the US suck and the ones made in the US are great. I like to online shop and they don’t tell you online where they are made so I’ve pretty much stopped shopping with them.

I owned a company where we bought nothing but from China and had our products designed, programmed, tested and built-in China (shame on me). However, I hated every minute of it, several times I looked into other alternatives. Those alternatives were too costly to transfer the production to another country and or America. 

I will and I know my wife will for sure not want to buy anything from China for a long time... She will not let me call in a take-out order from our favorite Chinese restaurant yet.

Hurting an American business owner because of racism...very cool.

China can go fuck themselves and I hope they rot (mainly the CCP), but as Auto said bringing our supply chain back won't happen over night (if ever).  It will also take more than one country to tell them to fuck themselves.

 Pulling the race card is not cool .... it has nothing to do with race but with the simple fact of ordering food as a takeout.... note: we have not even ordered pizza or corn beef she is just scared of who touching our food ... the fear of the unknown.   I could careless the restaurant business is still the same, just take out now and the cooks are still doing the cooking.  I have an order of ribs now... but the wife is concerned for my health and safety.

Most food you order will be cooked at such a high temperature you will be good. The bigger challenge is the packaging it’s put jnto

You didn't mention pizza or corned beef or any other takeout food in your post. You said you won't buy anything from China and you won't order from a Chinese restaurant. Perhaps you should have been a little more clear with your reasoning.

That and it takes nine years to get the shirt after you order it.

Some Homage shirts are made out of the country?  Did not realize that.
