Chevys are not made in the US. They're assembled. But 80% of the parts are from Mexico.

Where do you think the majority of profit from the sale of a Chevrolet ends up?
That's fantastic. But as a mechanic of over 20 years I could find a Chevy and it would take me 2 seconds to find a part that was made in Mexico and China
And the majority of the profit from those parts is sent straight back to America. The point of the post is to boycott America. Which country America outsources their labour and parts manufacturing to doesn't really matter.
The car could be made in Canada from Canadian made parts, but if it's owned by an American company the profit generated is going back to America. Yes, Canadians will get a slice to cover their labour and resources but that's minimal compared to the final profit generated.
That's why America outsourced their labour to the likes of China in the previous century in the first place. So they can pay lower labour and resource costs, sending more profit back to headquarters.
Right. But of you buy an item from Mexico they don't send the money back
You also just reminded me I have to call Honda HQ in Canada 😭
