We don't want industry in the US. We don't want manufacturing. We don't want pollution. Hell In California, we don't even want to see power plants. But we all run like fools to Walmart to buy that crap thats made in Countries who don't give a shit about pollution, workers well being, or anything else for that matter. Californians don't care that their State is running off a 300mi extension cord, and that neighboring State is burning Coal or "polluting" far beyond California's "emission limits". Fools. Do you really think the air will stop at the State line?
As far as the "tree huggers" 99.9% of them are full of shit. Do as I say but don't do as I do. I'm better than you and I'm spreading the good message, so my carbon footprint doesn't matter. Holier than thou fools! Until these morons prove to me they don't have a carbon footprint they can all eat shit.
I'm not perfect. But I do my best to buy American. I do my best to support American Workers, American Products, and American Companies. And I could give a flying fuck about Hollywood weirdos who proclaim to be saving the planet and urge the rest of us to do the same while they have a carbon footprint thats more than likely 10-1000X bigger than ours. They can all pound sand.
