Ramit Sethi offers $1,000 to anyone whose home is over 51% American-made, silencing "Buy American" advocates. He claims domestic goods cost six to eight times more than imports, exposing the gap between what people say and what they actually buy.
You wouldn't believe how many people in my comments are like.
Buy American, bro. Buy American. These chairs are fucking great for America. We're gonna protect America.
And I go, cool, that's such an interesting concept. Hey, I'd like to take a zoom tour of your house, and if over 51% of the items in there are made in America, I will write you a $1,000 check right now. And suddenly you get very quiet and never hear from them again. And the fact is, if they wanted to buy American, they could.
It would just cost six, eight.
Times more, the average. Good. Spatulas, shirts.
And of course.
They'Re not willing to do it.
It's one of those.
Classic moves that says people.
Should do.
This, they should buy American. But when we actually say, well, why aren't you? They suddenly get very, very.
