I understand the premise of what the guy was aiming for, but you can have a much bigger impact by quitting Walmart. Even though Nissan is a foreign country, a)it's Japanese and they have a similar standard of living so trade with them is fair, and b)building the Titan employed a lot of American workers, which is the most important end-game to me. Pretty much all the car companies have a strong manufacturing presence in the US, so if you buy one of these cars you helped employ a lot of people, and the more successful those factories are, the more money will be invested in those factories and more job growth will happen there - in contrast to the more plastic pieces of crapola you buy from Walmart, the more Chinese workers that are employed and the further the nail is driven into American manufacturing.
