@cnn: Ramon Van Meer makes a $129 filtered shower head manufactured in China. With tariffs surging, he explored whether customers would pay more for a product made in America. CNN’s Vanessa Yurkevich talks to Van Meer about the results of his experiment.#cnn #tariffs
Wow, I had no idea people would choose the cheaper option over made in USA. This really shows how price sensitive we are!

NOPE…NOPE :
That’s the logic behind the Trumpers wearing MAGA hats and other clothing items that are made in China.

Americans absolutely would pay higher for American goods IF salaries were higher, wages were higher, rents were lower, taxes were lower and student debt was eliminated or lowered.

Eventually US prices will go down once manufacturing becomes more common in the USA. We need this for national security, we can’t stay reliant on other countries that’s a disaster waiting to happen.

Yeah, when people say they’ll pay more for a us made product they mean like 5% more. They have no idea how things work.

there are other plumbing products made in the U.S. there are foundries, machine shops, etc. I want to know what model he used to set his US price. I have a faucet made in Germany, it wasn't double

Why would anyone pay more for the same thing? That’s insane. Especially in America where nobody cares about anyone but themselves.

I don’t see how putting them side by side on the check out is any type of social experience, this is wrongly conducted.

Us values are very self centered. To buy the more expensive option would be supporting socialism

Maybe businesses should learn to take cuts and start supporting the US job market, it’s a no brainer, supporting the working class is Trump’s agenda, get behind it

I do wonder if a more valid test would have been to sell them both for $239 and see how the price increase affected sales.
