AND even with Destin’s grill brush being mostly made in USA to prove a point, he still had his kids and other kids (late high school to college aged from the looks of it) assemble and package them instead of having a factory with workers paid a living wage, with retirement, healthcare, a union, etc. He says he pays the kids “better than any other summer job”, but it completely negates any point relating to labor that he wants to make.
That guy seemed a bit deluded, in thinking that his efforts could spark some long-term thinking. I get that he was trying to make a point, and raise alarms about how terrible it is trying to actually get something built in the US, but it took a certain amount of stubbornness to refuse defeat that you’ll take it to the point of using high-school kids to assemble everything and not professional manufacturers.
When even the most patriotic, Made in USA fetishists try for years and in the end admit defeat.
Its nice to see they’re finally admitting it, and showing the patriots that yes, US manufacturing is outclassed.
the most incredible thing on the video is that the guy is selling a hot sauce packaged as a perfume lmao. americans really buy that shit?
