Damn sure won't be the illegal building your shitty tract home for 1/2 wages.

What type of phone do you use? Brand of computer or tv? Where are your clothes from?

Yes but we can change that...a little bit at a time. My Ford pickup profits went to Dearborn.

Not to get off subject or anything, I saved a bundle with Progressive Direct today. Carry on.

If I’m not mistaken you’re a dock builder right?

What do you have on the back of your barges? If I was willing to bet it’s a made in Japan...Yamaha. Why did you go Yamaha? Because it’s the best and most reliable option day in and day out for what you do and your business.

Why didn't you go Evinrude E-Tec? If I’m not mistaken (before they got bought out) the E-Tec’s were the only motor that were solely assembled in USA. Why didn’t you go that route...most likely because the Yamaha is a superior product. Are you willing to put your business and profits at risk due to a pride of only made in America? Are you willing to buy an inferior product because you are solely supporting American labor?

All I’m saying is it’s literally impossible to buy made solely in America anymore. We aren’t holding our economy up by buying these products. It’s strictly marketing and pride for the manufacturers and the consumers.

I buy whatever works the best and if it happens to be made in America then good on me for supporting solely our economy.

Co-workers 18’ crewmax puffed this morning when he hit the remote start to go home.

Must be contagious.

As ugly as a tundra is they better be awesome mechanically

Speaking of Yamahas, doesn't Tohatsu make the parts and/or motors for most of them?

And if you're not from SC, Suzuki is a good engine.

I have a Yamaha because a nephew works on them. He thinks they are the shitz. Who's to argue with a nephew?

Why the covid was sent here. Trump wanted to make everything in the USA and they didn't like it. They being, Soros, Gates, Bezos and the rest of the Dems Think about it. Left out the commie buffet

Fritz said it well in his talk about America prostituting itself to the world. LBJ said it well when he was signing the welfare reform act. Just buying votes. Business as usual

**bucknfloat2** · 03-09-2021, 09:53 PM

NAFTA sucks. Wonder what Clinton got paid for that one.

Anyone who listens to LBJ and takes what he said seriously, needs to reevaluate their perspective...

**bucknfloat2** · 03-09-2021, 10:10 PM

Well he did wind up fucking up this country

**wskinner** · 03-09-2021, 10:18 PM

It’s called competition, and it’s a good thing. I’m all for buying American and will even pay a little more over a foreign competitor, provided the quality is equal. If the Big 3 want my next truck to be one of theirs, they better learn how to make something that doesn’t break every other month. A Tundra will be my next one. KRT already said he works on the Big 3, but services Toyota’s, which confirms my experiences.

I got to say, I’m loving this 7.3 in my F350. Ford’s got a good, old school truck engine in this one.

half have Yamaha and half Evinrude- there is no way possible to buy only 100% American, but you can try to make a difference.

Yes. If most people tried to make a difference...it would.

**Woodiewacker82** · 03-10-2021, 08:06 AM

I try to make a difference but the big three lost my business not only due to lack of quality in their products but the service on the products also. Not to mention you can’t claim you pos Ford is anymore American made than my Toyota is and some of my money might have made it to japland after it paid some American salaries, but your money ended up financing Democrats campaigns. The union gave your money to joe.

Japan>China
Joe=China
