Well..you can only pick and choose under this philosophy for a while. There are smart TVs, cell phones, and especially clothing that you wouldn't want to buy, but would have to really work at finding made in the USA brands to enforce your philosophy.
It's not about "made in America". I shoot German rifles, use German optics, drive Japanese vehicles...even my atv and ope are made in Japan...and that's my preference. I just don't to support the Venezuelan government in any way possible.
***I actually was just informed by my wife that as of 2019 citgo is reported to no longer benefit the Venezuelan government. I'll look into it and if that's the case I have no probleM buying from theM
*** I have no issue with American made products but buy on quality and that alone. Sometimes that is American made sometimes not
If you think the Venezuelan government is bad, you should really read up on all the things Saudi Arabia has done.
That whole business with the journalist and the bone saw wasn't even the most evil thing they had done that year.
That's not even to mention all the awful things that all the oil companies have done, and even those are only the things we know about. We're talking about bloody coups that killed thousands, here.
If you want to buy ethically sourced oil or gasoline, don't buy oil or gasoline.
