Not to mention that stamped on the side of my BFG tires is "Made in
USA"
Seriously, though, I don't really care that much about who I'm buying
from so long as it does the job for me and performs well.
Particularly like this, in a case where workers in an American factory
are getting paid to make what I'm buying. If the French (or whoever
else) don't scrape the profits off the top that way, they'll just find
some other way to do it.
