ok, that makes zero sense.

Welcome to the world of Maris61.

Name something that has appreciated in value because its American made?

Your couch? Your computer? Your television?

Typical american mentality. The more possessions you have, the wealthier you are.

Remember, Maris61 was a part of the rip off housing prices pre 2007. It kinda skews a person's mind, ya know.

But remember he lives in Lapine. There isn't much commission to be made on a $500 shack.

Now that's a good point.

No, I wasn't.

Not only did I buy my home in early 2007 for "a lot of money", I first got my Realtor's license in April 2007, when the market down here had ground to a complete halt. It stayed dead for nearly 3 years. Offices closed, big names disappeared or switched career fields.

Were I not one of the most ethical, skilled, and scrappiest (apologies to Nate) Realtors in Beautiful Central Oregon I'd have been forced to fold up my tent 3 years ago. The last few years have been good for me, and the next few look to be awesome.

Live by The Golden Rule and leave the rest to Karma.

Name something that has appreciated in value because its American made?

Your couch? Your computer? Your television?

Typical american mentality. The more possessions you have, the wealthier you are.

My Gibson, Epiphone and Fender guitars, antiques (furniture and oddities), my record collection, my guns (many of them antiques),

As for my "mentality" regarding material possessions, it has nothing to do with quantity. It's all about utility and quality.

I invest in things that give me enjoyment and are of frequent use to me. I admire craftmanship and creativity.

Money is just a useless concept unless you spend it on something. It doesn't really exist, has no guarantee of value, and can disappear in an instant.

BTW, seems to me you're the one always posting about the great new phone or gadget you got, or the quality clothes and baggage you're fond of.

Despite your southoftheborder moniker, YOU just might have that American mentality you mentioned.

I'd dumb it down a bit for you but I'm fairly sure you just don't like the point I'm making.

I don't buy that much stuff. Its just for conversation for the most part. I spend my leisure money on travel, food and drink for the most part. Experiences and living life, man, not the accumulation of objects. I do value quality and craftmanship. But for mass production and thoughtless labor, its best produced out of the country.

Maris, do you shop at Walmart? I know there aren't many options out in buttfuck egypt, oregon but do you buy stuff there?

42,000 American Factories have shut down since 2001, this translates into over fifteen million lost jobs to places like Communist China, Viet Nam, India and Pakistan.

If every American Household bought only $650.00 of Made in USA products per year it would create well over a million U.S. Jobs. If it just a pair of socks or a new car it all adds up. $650.00 split between a four person household is only $162.50 for each person, a small amount to invest in keeping our country working.

How's that "global economy" working out for us?

2001 we were riding pretty high, now we're in such bad shape states are actually planning for the nation's collapse.

Buy American or stop bitching about the economy.

With the help of the 1% and traitors within our government, China is in the process of quickly destroying our country, and everything they make is crap. Especially their clothing.

Were none of that true I'd still not buy their products because they are a bunch of mentally sick fucks that torture and imprison their own simply for speaking their thoughts out loud. They pollute the earth on a massive scale in every way imaginable with no regrets or apologies. Were it not for the Nixon and the WalMart family, China would still be the impotently poor and awkwardly backwards nation they had always been, and certainly no threat to the US.

In that case, I apologize.

It was the tech bubble and then the housing bubble. States are planning for collapse because of many of the unsustainable pension plans, out of control spending and handouts.

The Global Economy is great. American workers/factories didn't get the memo and are obsolete.

Born and raised in Bend. You have a lot to learn about Central Oregon, noob. For example, La Pine isn't part of Central Oregon, as it would be an insult to Central Oregon.
