So, your gas was not made in the USA?
The paper in your printer, your TP?
The ingredients in your breakfast?
Your various insurance services?

Oops. I didn't see your location. In my defense, most items in Walmart in this country are of non-US origin, so your plight is common to the majority of nationals here.

Actually i think Apple products are made in USA; although they're being manufactured in China, the majority of the value-chain belongs to California.

I tried that already.

Here the Roadster Sport 2.5 costs HKD $1,235,000 (approx. USD $158,000).
