Idea of the week: i'm not sure what % of the US this holds true for, but a meaningful % of Amercians seek out US made products. But right now it's a janky process - browse Amazon and try to find where the product is made, or browse the aisles in a store and take a peep at the tag to figure it out. There should be an Amazon for US made products that takes this guess/check outta the process and delivers on the same key expectations (fast delivery etc). This would also double as an interesting climate solution - instead of buying products that need to get shipped from around the world, total miles (emissions) from an American producer to American buyer is much less.

Have an awesome holidays y'all - catch you in the new year!
