Deere that lock buyers to using them for “software updates”? Trash.
Peterbilt? Oversized US oriented trucks that are useless outside of the US? Trash.
Snap-On? Overpriced tools surpassed by numerous manufacturers outside of the US. Trash.
US based tech multinationals don’t make anything except monopolies. They buy smaller outfits that have created something, they don’t create anything themselves. They do all of this while avoiding paying tax everywhere, and taking subsidies for anything and everything.
TL;DR Fuck the US, the horse it rode in on, and the mountain it rode round to get here.
USian wages are inflated by Imperialism, which is why US manufactured goods are usually more expensive for equal quality elsewhere. Design isn’t the issue, it’s the cost of production and manufacturing.
are they designed here? Because with the proliferation of market-based supply chains even the designing is outsourced to the lowest bidder. The only thing that “exists” within the united States is our (the bourgeoisie’s) capital and intellectual property.
The rhetoric of “supporting” companies that are rooted in the pursuit of profit and typically are only a few degrees removed from outright subsidizing right-wing terror across the globe is hilarious
‘Some of the most charitable people on earth’ (citation needed) are massive genocidal adult children. They overwhelmingly supported invading Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Vietnam, Korea, Palestine. They even venerate people who participate in those actions as soldiers, i.e. in the most direct way possible.
These people are not ‘misguided’. They are bloodthirsty monsters who deny their crimes.
Snap on hasn’t been quality for a while. What keeps them around is the lifetime warranty and direct to shop sales trucks that can replace the frequently broken tools on the spot.

I do not support USian engineers, and neither should you.
It would be the best for the world if the US lost all capacity to research, develop and manufacture things.

‘Philanthropy’ is just PR for rich monsters. If it works on you, then you need to take a better look at how things are.

Sounds like almost all USians are ‘Christian Nationalists’, then.
No less than 74% of USians were bloodthirsty monsters in 2001-2002:

Today, USians largely support the ongoing and highly-televised genocide in Palestine.
