with all this tariff stuff, i keep seeing libs coping that we dont need chinese manufacturing anyway (lmfao) because “they can only make cheap garbage”

these people are so fucking stupid.

US companies are ORDERING cheaply made garbage to sell you at massive profits for themselves. that doesnt mean china is incapable of making good reliable shit. your companies dictate the quality of what they’re having manufactured there. they use the cheapest materials, the lowest level of quality assurances and checks, and this is all to save them money at the expense of the product’s reliability and at YOUR expense. you’re a piggy being fed the slop you paid for. welcome to america.

We're perfectly capable of making garbage right here in the US as well. Especially when the workers on the shop floor are overworked, underpaid, and as a result, don't give a shit. And when they keep firing the most experienced people for bullshit transgressions like calling in sick a couple too many times, or complaining about the planners being absolute fucking idiots.
