The whole Black Angus I buy every year is raised/finished in a farm outside Leonardtown and processed in Warrenton, VA. Sorry.

Well depending on where you buy beef, assuming you consume it, there is a good chance it is sent overseas for processing. Imagine that: cattle raised here, slaughtered here, but put on a boat for processing because of the economics of doing so.

Outside of that, your comments suggest that you understand we are a global economy and the "buy American" catch phrase is just that -- a catch phrase with no real economic or commerce-related meaning.

I do think "buying American" clothes/washing machines/whatever that use imported raw materials, or American grown raw materials that are sent overseas for processing before sent back here for final assembly/manufacture is a cop-out. That's not really "buying American" where there are options that are more American.

But also keep in mind: I'm not the one insisting that everyone "should" buy American. By and large, globalization has been a net positive. It's here to stay and I'm OK with it.

We should buy American and "suppository" owns an import wine company. Irony much...
Do you put "Imported by an American" labels on that box wine?

:golfclap:

That speaks well of you, but perhaps you don't know the meaning of, "Depending on where you buy beef."

In everyone of your hypocritical condescending posts, the funny part is, you import wine instead of buying local or grown, processed, aged and bottled and corked in American bottles with labels made and printed in the 48 States.

And how is it you know we don't buy any American-produced wine? You are aware one can do both, yes?

And since you clearly know nothing about the wine importation business ... every single label on a bottle of wine, import and domestic alike, must be approved by BATFE. The front-of-bottle labels are rarely a problem, but the back-of-bottle labels are generally in either Italian or French. Guess who gets to pay for the back-of-bottle labels? Guess where we source them? Right here in America, so neener, neener, neener. :neener:

And I'm still waiting for you to show me where I stated what anyone "should" do with respect to buying American. You can't/won't because I never said anything of the sort.

You said it was an import business didn’t you? Unless you believe buying wine from California and having it shipped to Maryland is importing, it’s easy to think you aren’t buy American wine.

The way you keep talking Its sounding like it’s a liquor store you work and trying to sophisticate by calling it an import business.

Dude.

My wife runs a wine import business.

We buy wine for personal consumption. Some of it is domestic.

You can't possible be this dense unless you're trying hard.

So you don't even drink your own wife's wine. Why? What's wrong with it?

Dude, you import wine as a business. Far more wine than you consume personally and only some of it is domestic. Way to promote buying American made there buddy. #hypocritehemihauler

Well, food #1. But it's not really local and American either because the farmer who grew it almost certainly has foreign ancestors, making him not 100% American. And he might use machinery that was made in a Chinese sweatshop. And the soil most likely migrated from somewhere else over the millennia.

So you're right. Instead of buying Christmas presents at the local Maker's Market or craft show, people should do without until those ships can get unloaded and trucks can get it to Walmart. Because why on earth would you want to give a unique item when you can hang on a few months and give a belated Chia Pet? :yay:
Hell. Had many a Christmas where the tree came from a walk in the woods behind the house. Tree ornaments were painted and decorated pine cones and painted and decorated frozen orange juice cans, (the real small ones). Gifts were mostly clothes for the coming year, and one or two toy type gifts. Then it was off to visit the relatives. People today have no idea how good they have it. But they will. As the lyrics in the song goes, "Don't it always seem to go ~ That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone".

For those of us that never had, or had little, these days, and in the coming days, (years), we'll be just fine going without the materiel things. Or we'll just make our own again.

I remember walking in people's overgrown fields looking for the perfect tree.
We always took a few limbs off other trees to fill in the open spots on the one we picked.
Some people used Cedar, my family always used short needle pine.

We had bubble lights and spent most of the Christmas season looking for the one that blew out and turned them all off.
It went up on Christmas Eve and came down on New Years day.

Butt. Butt he has to have the back labels approved by the feds and then they have to put them on the bottles.... That equates to Made in The USA....
I was born in the UuuuuK
I was born in the UK.
I was then shipped to the USA.
I kept my head down and
relabeled in the USA..
Then I WAS BORN IN THE USA..
