Also, "American-made" is a very tricky thing to define. If you want American-made clothes, does the fabric have to be woven in the US? Where was the cotton grown? If it's a synthetic, does it have to use domestic oil? I'm not trying to nitpick; it's just silly to focus on only the top of the manufacturing chain.

In the end, I think a list of American-made brands or products would have to be curated. I believe a multi-billion dollar tech company like Amazon can pull it off, though.

  Of course they can pull if off. But why would they want to?

    Because Amazon is an American company.
