here are some USB stick brands and where their home base (and most of the money) is:
samsung - south korea
sandisk - usa
kingston - usa
intenso - germany
hama - germany
philips - germany / netherlands
disk2go (office world group) - switzerland
toshiba - japan
adata - taiwan
as you can see, there are many non-american companies selling USB memory. you get to choose where most of the money goes. we both know most of the 30 plus bucks you pay, does not go to the people doing the soldering.
