alt Hacker NewsWhile shopping I look where items are produced and by whom company. When I see an item is manufactured in Texas I put it back on the shelf and keep walking. That State is too politically corrupt for me to financially support, same with Florida.

Don't most big tech companies have an office in Dallas or Austin? I remember that the MS campus was huge when I lived in Dallas.
If "can't have been made in any capacity in Texas" is your criteria that might be pretty difficult.

Also US manufacturing is synonymous with shitty quality and has been for at least 5 decades.

I do this when I buy things on Ebay. I'm not sending my money into those states unless I absolutely have to.
To the one that down voted ... I will continue to not fund the corrupt state of Texas and Florida.
I will continue to not waste my money on states that reject simple humanity ... such as rejecting the requirement for heat and water breaks for outdoor workers ... and erosion of church and state.

P.S. I have family that lives there and they tell everyone not to move there. If they had the means to get out they would. Unfortunately it is not just about economics it can also be about divorced parents with shared custody that prevents this.
