I’m honestly surprised so many comments here are nitpicking or expressing skepticism about this little test.
Low price vs foreign sourcing has been tested trillions of times over decades and low price largely won. How do you think we got to the supply chains and economy we have today? How do you think Walmart (which started off selling Made in USA BTW) and Dollar Tree and Target and Amazon etc. got so big?
People like low prices. They like them more than a lot of other things they also like.
We got to the supply chains and economy we have today through a large number of free trade deals, whose opponents correctly predicted that they would drive a low price vs. foreign sourcing dynamic eventually leaving domestic manufacturing uncompetitive for many products. I'm not skeptical of the test results at all.
