Badly engineered, badly coded, badly built, and badly serviced. Great work, Americans.

You blamed it on Americans and specifically pointed out bad code, badly built, and badly serviced products.

Are you telling me to personally cast the fittings used in my water heater? To hand solder a PCB for my microwave? To machine my own engine camshaft?

Believe it or not, some people actually do that shit.

Also, please point to me where the any of that is specifically a fucking American problem? Your microwave PCB was probably manufactured in China or Taiwan. Same for the rest of the stuff you mentioned.

And yeah, feel free to solder shit. I fixed my microwave PCB that way when a thyristor fried. Microwaves are pretty fucking simple where circuitry is concerned, large components and they even come with a PCB manual, generally above the door. Even if you can't build it you can at least repair it.
