That certainly has come into play even before this supply chain crisis. For years our trade professionals (plumbers, electricians, building contractors) demanded quality US made products. Our pipe was made Charlotte NC. Plumbing products in Kohler Wisconsin. Electrical devices only US made products such as Square D, Eaton, GE, etc. We have seen an erosion in the demand for quality and now it is all about price. No longer is the quality product demanded, it is now the cheapest price you can get me.

It is very discouraging to say the least.
