>Or shop American and help keep manufacturing and jobs alive here.

This kind of myopic view completely misses the scope of manufacturing chains that are simply missing in the US. Things like stainless steel rebar and LCD screens take many years to build up efficient production for.

>Go to Japan and you can count the American products sold on your hand

Do you honestly think that Japan makes almost everything domestically? There's a good reason for the absence of American products in Japan. You are so close :)

Yeah, walk around any popular shopping area in Japan and you’ll see box after box of items marked “Made in China”
