Stuff that global companies sell in the US are mostly anti-consumer, even if they are foreign. Its because the USians hate government and don't want to prevent companies from abusing their customer base because it would hurt the companies bottom line.

As big companies are mostly held by globalists (very rich libertarians who think, mostly rightfully, that laws don't apply to them and who want to make more money or accrue more power), they take advantage of the non-existant regulations. The issue is that now even medium corps are held by the same type of people in the US, so i think the author might have a good point: avoid buying from large corps in the US, prefer small, at worst medium, or better: small and foreign.
