True, you really shouldn’t care that much about where or who made your stuff. People are people. They all need a way to earn a living. Being an American shouldn’t entitle you to some quality of life that is far above what those around the w

I have plenty of ideas that I’d give away for nothing or almost nothing. I’d say at least one or two are viable. You can contact me if you’re interested and I can share via email. Would mostly just like to see an idea of mine become real. C
