Not Sure How to Feel About This: American Made Audio Coalition?

I don't get any sense of "American Exceptionalism" (I don't like that term at all) or even "Buy American" from the website. It just seems to be providing information.

I find the info interesting. I have been interested in where things are made (yeah, globalization muddies that distinction big time) since I was a little kid. I don't know why. I'm old enough to remember when Japan was still recovering from WWII (1960s) and I could often spot toys that were "Made in Japan" just by glancing at them and then I would sometimes verify my guesses. I remember being careful handling the tin ones, it was easy to get cut.

I recall when I got John Entwistle's third solo album and feeling he was a bit behind the times when this song came out (1973):


I was listening to the album on components that were made in USA (Shure and Acoustic Research), Germany (Dual) and Japan (Marantz/Superscope 1060 integrated amp). I was quite happy with all of those components at the time.
