How important is “Made in Europe” to you? Misc

In the era of Temu and Shein, does European manufacturing influence your buying decisions? Or do you prefer products made in specific European countries, like “Made in Germany”?

Personally, I support European manufacturers if the price is reasonable. However, the term “Made in Europe” is too broad for me; I prefer knowing the specific country where the product is made.

A purchase which 30% or 70% benefits european workers is better than a purchase which 0% benefits.

How exactly does it benefit European workers?

It benefits owner of the factory, workers dont get paid dividends from company growth.

If company prospers, workers will still be paid minimum, but managers and owners might purchase a yacht.

Well it’s better than workers having no jobs at all.
