  • Always the same thing, made in USA from Chinese parts. Or,, China now has a city named, "USA"---the Japanese did the same thing a long time ago to fool us. Anyway, as long as we continue to elect communists to run our government, this kind of thing will only get worse. Communist policies are not very conducive to free enterprise.God help us if we get in a war with the Chinese; all our war material would be cut off as its made in the enemy country. Keep in mind that China is ultimately our enemy.

  • @tlfrantz1 Yes quite a bleak picture. We get into a war with China and we are finished.

  • when bethlehem steel closed its door, i shed a tear. thats when i knew it was over.

  • @Rainhill1829 I hear you, I used to work for Jones and Laughlin Steel in Ohio, they are gone now also.

  • You are like woman :D

  • awesome 

  • Well said! Those responsible for misleading packaging should have to go live in products' country of orgin and work on that assembly line for those wages for a year.

  • dude i agree with u 100% about buying america made stuff buy america made a stuff i hate the home depot i love lowes yes when u find stuff like this its the same way wiht the furin cars stop buying honda and that that junk ass cars buy america cars people

  • In the early 1960s as a kid, I use to purchase all those wee soldiers & plastic cars, You know the stuff, It is interesting to note, the stamp said {Made in USA} How ever, in Hong Kong they had an Factory Area called USA..... True. and they fell apart then and I imagine still fall apart today.

    Thom in Scotland

  • Nice video and agree with you.

  • I remember once years ago seeing a basketball in a box at walmart. The box had in big proud words "made in USA" (no joke) but the ball itself had made in China on it. I can only guess that the box was made in the USA but not the ball.

  • @HunterHornet Similar to my experience, probably reaching epidemic proportions over here in the USA.

  • thank you for the vid keep posting the vid when you find stuff like this

  • im working on a e-bike and if i can ever get some more work to finish it, i found a battery shop that referbished batterys. Buy American

  • I think our goverment should stop letting manufacturing companies from going overthere and enriching a communist country to begin with, and keep the jobs here in America

  • @MrAlfredovega Yes I agree - look at Apple over 13 billion in profits alone in the last quarter... Make the iphone over here and save the American economy!

  • Yeah, Im with you Bro and know what you mean and i try to buy American made products too. but i think its the manufacturing companies that are going overthere for the cheap labor and make more profits. traitors

  • I think that countries from all over should just create their own jobs instead of bringing jobs else where it is just complicated

  • @jan8919 Amen! Too many people suffering from this...

  • There are Chinese people that was born in other parts in a country don't like Chinese people from china either the products they import like toys foods drinks shoes the quality are very poor the way they handle things is just terrible but there are few certain things they make are not necessary all that bad though !

  • @jan8919 Something is definitely out of whack, my income has been much lower since around Jan of 2008 - painful!

  • Agree with you %100, we are buying junk from them and giving our industry away.

  • fuck china. why they dont get a big ass tsunami instead of japan

  • every time i see something like that i get kindof weary because they do that all the time.

  • bait and switch.

  • @therealandycook LOL, that is done done just about everywhere! Not a topic for this video but deployed often on Wall Street and Washington DC... Thanks for your comment!

  • the sad part is americans wont work for cheap enough thats why things are made else where

  • Greedy American retailers like walmart are the problem, not China.

  • @PrestoWind Can't argue with that but if is Chinese they should not be putting American flag stickers on their products just to make a sale. Seems like they think we are stupid and that insults some of us... Thanks for your comment!

  • The thing is try and buy something made in your own country. If the product is assembled in your country I bet most of the parts are from abroad. In the UK the new MG car is made in China and just finished off over here. We just can't compete with their low wages. You can't blame the Chinese. it's just what happened with the Japs and now the're in trouble, Also India is getting it's act together, all these countries have a huge potential home market as well.

  • @barbarybar Yes I agree but I think from a standpoint of protection more could have been done but I am not an expert on Economics or Legislation. A sad affair for sure. Thanks for your insightful comments. 

  • There was a time when you had to buy U.S. products or else they would threaten you with sanctions. They subsidise coal they subsidised steel. Same thing with personal computers IBM. Then Japan began to do the same thing Japan subsidised its industry it had no new money coming in that's why Japan is the most indebted country in the world after the U.S. the British/English nowadays are pen pushers and chemical makers.

  • @Crime1234management Excellent comment; it has been a long time since the days of profitable steel mills in this country. Obviously the comsumer shares some blame but our trade policies have failed big time!

  • Absolutely You are right.

    Gary

  • @llewgnal I keep fighting the good figtt Gary. Good luck with your HHO experiments, have you ever seen what Bob Lazar is up to with the hydrogen fuel cell? Thanks for stopping by!

  • @Hallaran Thanx for the link.

    Gary

  • It's the same in Canada brother

  • @livewire322 It is at the point now where you cannot get away from it, they need us to survive so they push their products on us but without a good ways for Us, USA/Canada/Austrailia/Etc...) to earn the cash they do so desire to survive the end game becomes all the more futile, they continue to try ever harder to sell their products over here. I took the battery back to the store anyway. Thanks

  • no offense taken

  • THUMBS UP and I agree 110%! You sound like me bro!

    Thumbs up!!~~John

    (matter of fact I just uploaded a vid and almost got on a made in USA/china rant)

  • i agree with what your saying, same story with the UK everything is being imported from other countries. Its sad we cant make a bean tin these days, but, you have to accept the Chinese made items. If you dont you will soon find that you have no new products, countries like America and the UK will continue to import. Our governments would prefer to do that then provide the residents of the country with work! It sickens me.......

  • i remember a time when big tv consoles console stereos major appliances where all built in Canada not mucht of that happening now in Western Canada there is a certain amount of specialized manufacturing going on thanks to the resource sector and thanks to the resources in Canada and particulary in western Canada the economy here in saskatchewan is actually healthy

  • It is Sad they don't make good outboard motors in the USA anymore like

    Scott Atwater in MN, Martin made wisconsin, Champion Made in MN, OMC in USA and over 50 USA Brands are Gone. Mercury and Evinrude is the only one's left I think.

  • @ScottAtwater1 I remember running my 1945 Scott Atwater a few years back. It still runs well, very reliable boat motor...

  • People buy China's products because it's cheaper.

    Not everybody can buy good quality products because of their prices and because Americans earn money on them.

    It's not the Chinese people wich can fart in dollars but the American owners and sellers of productsPRODUCED in China.

    The production is abroad but the money stay in the US.

    the Problem is not the chinese ,the problem is the Americans and their want to sell more because of the low prices.

    China is just a puppet's hand.

  • @michaelovitch I like the Chinese as a people, (I have an adopted Niece from China). What I don't like is the massive job loss in the USA. The USA becoming a 3rd world country, etc... We must manufacture products. We must have a competitive Service sector. I do not see "the money" you are talking about "in America". Too much data and statistics point elsewhere sadly...

  • @Hallaran

    Who have decided to manufacture products abroad ?

    US owners.

    The money is still in the US, not the jobs.

    It's just that you don't see it in your pocket.

    The Chinese didn't decide to manufacture things alone.

    If they do it it's because somebody asked them to do it because of their low prices.

    Few North American people are making a lot of money and the mass do not have job.

    moreover they think your dumb enough to not to read a label because of a nice tiny flag :that's the worst part...

  • What does it read in the box above the American Flag?

    And people, STOP blaming China for this. Out greedy government raised taxes on manufacturers back in the 70's and 80's which chased them out the USA. Also, us Americans all want a decent paid wage, and full benefit packages. This also raises the price of manufacturing.

  • @cffnmkr13 I do not have the label anymore, I took it back to Home Depot and got a refund...

  • ... it's shit like this China!

  • I found AA Batteries at the local gas station, The ones with the copper top! The package looked genuine till i saw the bunny with the bass drum on them. Think on that while we drink the glycol based cough syrup. It is not racist or wrong to buy manufactured goods made at home, Wherever that home may be.

  • @xmarkmechanic1 Amen!

  • @Hallaran Now I went the Home Depot today to select cedar for my next canoe.

    As I was at the checkout I looked at the battery. The battery that is sold seperatly does not have this label.

    This wrapper is from the battery with the flashlight. Above the flag you can read "light made in USA" in English, Spanish, and French. Sorry thats what I saw.

  • I stopped going to home depot for the same reason.

  • @ArticleTen Home Depot has declined since,,, Sadly.

  • every single thing you can buy is made in china mate. No matter what's written on the box.

  • I give the finger to the assholes who gave this video a thumbs down!

  • I'm Canadian same thing has happened here we dont build anything anymore, but companies dont have ethics, they cant afford too, in a democracy or they will be crushed, it's all about the bottom line. The only way to bring back these jobs to North America is to produce finished products cheaper , and we would have to lower minimum wage and standards of living to do that. The only thing we would gain is a slave labour labour force.

  • americans sells coca cola to starving people in africa for the price of a meal....

    it's globalization ....

    your video is dumb!!!

  • I don't like this video!!!

    it sounds racist to me.

  • @Hallaran Not trying to be offensive.

  • @Hallaran One of every two things Americans buy are still made in the US. Only reason why people see so many Chinese product is because Americans tend to buy cheaper product. Next time, if you notice two similar items but one cost more. It pretty much a sign that it is made here.

  • sorry buddy, we don't love the land of lies near as much as you..i boycott american as i don't want to support assholes who think they are better than everyone else ,if you don't stop the nwo you will not have to worry about kids or grand kids...

  • @s2who Apparently you don't realize just how much the red dragon has been awakened. I'm gonna buy double american products to cancel out your spending habits.

  • @blackopsninja Yes, We should consider what you say unless we want 50% unemployment in the near future....

  • How can Chinese do everything???

  • I retired from a tool company that makes drills and reamers last year.

    The company has been in busniess sence 1917 and made the highest quility tools on the market. The new owners figured that they could buy half finished tools from China complete the finishing to size sharpen and stamp made in the U.S.A.

    So after thirty two years as a tool and die maker that was it. Profit above all else.

    Five good men out work. Dosen't seem right.

  • i'm glad there is still people talking about this china problem i know many people that dont even think there is a problem.

  • nice vid

  • Blame the companies who are at the headquarters in america but all manufactured in China. Portugal is the same, Eveready must be a U.S. company that collaborates with the Chinese in product manufacturing.

  • I live in Sweden, even I try to buy things from America, or Germany when possible.

  • @njaaknifen lol wait your buying from germany because their economy's screwed? what?

  • thats sucks but thats the way the world is now. i some AA Eveready batterys hear and they are made in Indonesia. good vid.

  • the lable was made in the usa bro :) also we make most of our products in other countries so we wont pollute our land most real toxic stuff is made in china they are pro's at making toxic things. :) i agree with you we need to be self sufficiant in manufacturing

  • @wrangomonger It is just a bit greedy and someone always ends up suffering in this kind of scenerio...

  • I don't like stuff made by China.

  • I wonder if that's even a real Eveready product as there's fake Chinese clones of real stuff out there and no they're not safe either as they have not been tested.

    Really they need to put massive tariffs on anything from China even making stuff in Mexico would benefit this country as it would supply jobs to in making chips and chemicals in the US.

    It also would cut the carbon foot print in shipping by a factor of four to eight.

    China there is no benefit and it's bad for the environment.

  • @Membrane556 You are absolutely right, a friend of mine was over there recently and said the pollution in some areas is overwhelming.

  • @Hallaran see photos from Guiyu, China. That's bad.

  • @Membrane556 In theory, sure, tariffs on Chinese-made products will help put money back into US companies, trickle-down economics take over. But the real problem is avoiding inflation; as much as it sucks to say, US made products are not relatively cheap. Oh world economics, thy art a cruel master.

  • im not from usa im from canada but i agree with your thinking 100%. we need to get back to makeing things here !!!!!

  • @satellite98 Yes, Canada and the USA are the same in this respect. Thanks

  • @Hallaran

    what did the box on the wrapper with the American flag actually say??

    there are tons of us on facebook promoting a MADE IN USA lifestyle. just search on Made In USA and you will find tons of pages with good info and good ol' Americans trying to keep our jobs at home. become fans, share them with friends. EVERYONE needs to be aware and understand what manufacturing means to America!! we once produced DOUBLE the combined worlds GDP by ourselves. now we are teetering on loosing first

  • @waterkeeper03 Thanks, I'll be over there blasting away my American patriotism, glad to join you!

  • @waterkeeper03 I do not have the label anymore, I took it back to Home Depot and got a refund...Thanks, I'll be over there blasting away my American patriotism, glad to join you!

  • Nothing worse than being duped! But seriously, Lowes sells that garbage too. All the "big box" stores do. Same with John Deere and Cub Cadet. You want the real thing, you need to go to the dealer. Same goes with these batteries. The big box stores sell crap. You will pay more for American made, but sometimes its WELL worth it!

    Great vid bud!

  • @mbyr31 So right, I need to keep buying directly from American companies. Thanks for stopping by.

  • @TheConzArtist Thats exactly how it is.. Some people are proud Americans. Its not that we hate the chinese, we would just prefer to keep our money in OUR OWN COUNTRY. What do you think Americas problem is?

  • @mbyr31 I really believe a big part of it is economic imbalance. They have been fighting it for centuries. Back in the middle ages, check out "Mercantilism" on Wikipedia. Thanks, hope you are keeping warm!

  • nice video... really sux how they try to hide MADE IN CHINA with the US flag. I used to print Everyready battery boxes.

  • @coldfarted Right, we are not total Sheep.

  • Amen brother!!!

  • @DukeNukem65 Thanks!

  • China will soon be the largest power in the world, it's good to get used to consume products made by them

  • @mauusc Respectfully I find it hard to get used to suffering because that is where that policy will take us. We need to manufacture goods in this country once again, after all that is where we were in the first place.

  • @Hallaran Unfortunately for the United States remains the task of creating products, and china production. but this is happening because of greed of American corporations. This is a result of globalization.

  • It's really nice from you to think about shopping stuff from your country. I am canadian and do the same, I try to buy most of my stuff made in Canada or even USA, that way I know my money will stay in north america.

  • @DanielRemains Yes we are both in the same boat there aren't we?

  • The packaging is made in USA, that's all it means nowaday lol

  • @Veikra So true!

  • our crooked politicians allowed china to flood our country with their worthless

    sub standard junk, with total disregard for the people that need work here.

    I bet they were paid under the table to cater to the chinese

  • @jgant2008 well its not like everyone in china has jobs too buddy

  • @jgant2008 Yes the politicians in China protect their country/people from a trade imbalance.

  • Take it back. I try also..

  • @231flash Yes, I will take it back.

  • LOWES FTW!!!

  • hell theres abunch of shit in dc thats acually made in china, i cant remember what news team or whatever it was that went but alot of the suviners n stuff r made in china

  • Hi! I'm trying to avoid every product made in China when it's about utilities, at work, we uses staples entirely made in USA and we love what they made.

    Great video!

  • @oniichanrikku Great idea, I keep trying to buy my products from American companies, I have nothing personal against foreign products, I just do not want to see Americans suffer. Thanks

  • i heard there was a country or city in japan that had the name usa and they tried to get away by writing made in the usa and eventually someone figured it out lol

  • @DAKODA65 Unbelievable.

  • i couldnt agree more dam chinese and jap korean all that crap and child labor made it for chicken feed wages but the companys charge high prices like tools i wont accept anything except american made besides didnt we go to war against some of these countrys?

  • @rwb1955 Yes, I hear some of the factories have attached dormatories where the workers live right at the factory itself...

  • that's a big 10-4! Amen brother! and lowes is a much better place to shop,just my opinion

  • @crosscountryvideos They do have a cleaner store and a larger variety of inventory IMHO.

  • welcome to the cheating world buddy

  • @Notchism88 Yes, deceptive advertising is here to stay...

  • the label was made in USA. 

  • @drivepro Seemed like the Chinese made it so the "Made in China" could be covered up...

  • Every time you buy foreign you fuel inflation.

  • @Auggie56

    At present fuel prices it is cost effective to make petroleum from coal in fact it is even if gas is $1,90 a gallon.

    Anyone who says otherwise is a liar.

    If it was not practical the Germans would have been unable to go to war in WWII as they had almost no oil.

    Factor in transport costs this may actually be greener then oil from the middle east as you have to burn about 5% of it in fuel oil getting the tanker here and another 5% getting it back.

  • @Membrane556 Yes,we could safely get more out of Alaska also.

  • @Auggie56 I try to hunt for American made everytime I shop now, I believe every purchase helps.

  • Get use to it Jack!! Until you can find some Americans to work for 50¢ a day it's here to stay Buddy!!☺

  • @805ROADKING Yes I guess I better get used to it, I just felt like they were trying to fool me long enough to get out of the store before I found out, Take care.

  • No reason why we can't make things here, but it's just more expensive to do so. That's the only reason why we are failing right now, nobody wants to pay the extra money.

  • @TheStig000 I hear you, it is like a funk we cannot get out of...

  • SWEDEN

  • The label was made in america not the battery. Unbelievable. Some companies will mislead the consumers as much as legally possible to make money.

  • @CantWeedThis Sad, and so true...

  • I agree keep it in America...

  • @phill903Thank you!
