Where is it assembled? I prefer to buy products made in democracies rather than those made by the red party.

We definitely need laws that require companies to display this information online as well so that ethical shoppers aren't forced to go to the stores to avoid Made in China products.

You must have a lot of trouble buying anything, since I assume you apply your principles consistently? Clothing manufactured in countries that overlook child labor, chemicals / metals in your electronic devices coming from dictatorships, oil in your car coming from environmentally devastated areas?

  Virtuous choices are still virtuous, even when one chooses them inconsistently. Due to globalization, there are few 100% moral products. When I'm making a purchase, I usually spend some energy investigating the morality of different options. I have limited energy and funds. It's always a tradeoff between research time, product cost, product quality, and product availability. I put more energy into big-impact things like housing, transportation, electronics, job, etc. You judged me and wrote that I'm inconsistent. When you wrote your comment, I think you were experiencing a self-righteous feeling. You probably enjoyed that feeling. Pay attention to that. It's not the same as happiness or satisfaction. The self-righteous feeling doesn't help you. It enables small human groups to expel or punish rule-breakers. When a human feels self-righteousness, they stop thinking clearly. Similar behavior happens with anger & fear. When a person feel self-righteousness, they blindly follow their leaders and shun/attack/kill the accused. Personally, I think self-righteousness has little place in modern society.
