The announcement yesterday from the Biden administration to stop the import of Russian oil should have happen months ago. But we should not have been doing business with them at all.
I remember a time when I was younger, if I saw any product that was made in another country it was a rare thing and nowadays its rare to see an American product.
We have lost our independence on goods. We have come to dependent on other countries and just like American companies are closing off goods and services to Russia the same could happen here. If a country is in disagreement with US foreign policies they could easily eliminate the export of their goods to America. And the commerce battle lines will be laid out.
The United States historically has been known for independence and freedom, we are no longer that country. The next time you buy any product take note where it was made, then come to the realization it might not be available the next time. Now is the time to buy American and take in consideration the materials used to make that product.
Do those materials come from another country?
Buy 100% American made products, I realize this is a difficult task because of the convenience of just buying what you need and not doing the research. This is the only way for us to regain our independence.
