Today Starbucks starting selling their Made in USA Indivisible Mug. Made in USA in Ohio by a small pottery company. Starbucks' order of 20,000 mugs initially created four more positions at the company. I thought this is fantastic so I bought one at the Starbucks near my office for $10, with $2 going towards the createjobsforusa.org campaign that Starbucks is involved in. It's a win win for me. According to Starbucks Press site the effort has created more than 4,000 jobs so far.
I posted a video with my new mug on youtube, including the 2 weird things you can't do with the mug in your kitchen.
Would you spend a few $ more if you knew it directly supports jobs in your country? Do you like odd shaped mugs?

I would not, because it is all about competition. You can do it on a small scale with some enthusiasm, but at the end of the day you are bound to loose.
I think we either need to improve and advance in the manufacturing or do something else. Remember how this country was started - open borders and competition. It is the way to go.
