Is Omaha Steve promoting jobs in the USA proper for General Discussion?

[Omaha Steve]

Goggle DU and you will see GD has hundreds of posts going back several years about where to buy products MADE in the USA. Tell us what YOU think.

This got old last time it came up.

25. I agree

I've seen so many over the years....

[Chan790]

2. As far as it's up to me...

please continue to post in GD where we can buy quality American-made union goods.

Thank you.

[xfundy]

3. Made in America is GOOD NEWS.

And most of GD is news. Hell, yes, it belongs there.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. kick

[central scrutinizer]

6. Has anyone ever seen Omaha Steve and Ernie Chambers at the same time?

only a Nebraskan would understand the reference.

[Omaha Steve]

24. Ernie & I have been seen at the grocery story several times at the same time

LOL

[Zorra]

7. Made in USA is always welcome, Mr. Honorary DU Union boss. nt

[Triana]

9. What Zorra said.

Made in USA is always welcome! And Unions (and Union bosses, honorary or otherwise) too!

[freshwest]

27. +1

[Squinch]

8. I imagine that these threads actually bring new union people and progressives to DU.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

10. Yes but does Omaha Steve always refer to Omaha Steve in the 3rd person? :-p

[Omaha Steve]

12. OS is big enough to be 3 people

More tomorrow. I'm at a HS football game. 1/2 time. Winning 31-3!!!

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

19. Ha! :-)

[madrchsod]

13. why? he`s going to be an elected official.

he`s just practicing his third person persona here at du.

[MADem]

20. Ask Remus. Remus might know if Omaha Steve refers to himself in the third person....

[NBachers]

11. You're one of the stalwarts I always like to see here- keep on keepin' on

Actually "stalwarts" isn't that attractive a word, is it?

[SaveAmerica]

14. Other - what does this have to do with DKF?

Ha Ha!

SaveAmerica says buy American so when you hear there is something deadly in jerky dog treats made in China, you can breathe easy. Plus local small business support puts your dollars in the pockets of those in your community.

[zeemike]

15. I can't see why it would not be.

Did someone kick you off GD?...that is nuts IMO.

[CK_John]

16. Unfortunate there are no jobs for 1/2 the world population and productivity will not generate any

net new people jobs for 25 to 30 yrs. Welcome to the Cyber-era.

[malaise]

17. Yes yes yes!!

Rec

[NuclearDem]

18. I like skittles

[BluegrassStateBlues]

21. Yes. I'm sick of buying cheap plastic shit.

I remember my Legos having more durability than some of the garbage they peddle in stores these days.

[Drew Richards]

22. What's an Omaha Steve? Is it crunchy. Juicy tasty? Gollum....

[Rex]

23. I thank you for asking.

[hedgehog]

26. Kick for visibility - and maybe we need a Made in USA forum as well?

[Egalitarian Thug]

28. I've always liked that you do this, I've bought a few things as a direct result of running across

one of your posts and remembering that I need something.

Are you connected with any made in the USA companies/sites/coops?

[Omaha Steve]

29. Other than as a customer

NOPE!!!

[Egalitarian Thug]

31. That's too bad. Oh well, thanks anyway. n/t

[Iggo]

30. Yes.

[BrotherIvan]

32. As a US small business manufacturer I thank you!

We need all the advertising we can get as you can be sure a large company that advertises a lot manufactures overseas. It's very hard to compete against the behemoths, but word of mouth on quality products keeps most of us in business.

We need to share with people that the couple of extra dollars you spend on Made in the USA is a great VALUE. It means the high quality of your item will not only last longer but work/fit/feel better every single time you use it. It's not just supporting US workers, it is the best possible purchase for your money. And you are not supporting child & slave labor just so you can get a shiny new thing and that's got to be worth something!

33. Hey Steve
