That is giant fallacy.

There is more manufacturing in the USA than people know about. Trump Administration wont admit to it because it helps sell their lies.

Two of the three companies I worked for had / has design and manufacturing in the USA.

Former one was bought by Texas VCs and they shipped jobs over seas to maximize profit. Their only goal after buying the company was to make XX millions in 10 years by any means versus making quality solutions. VCs are the share holders when applying the Friedman doctrine. [0]

Oh yeah? Go try to buy anything at any store not made abroad. Go try to buy a car not reliant on foreign parts. Or a computer, or a phone, or medicine, or clothes... It's not easy.

Doubtful you will find life safety and automation equipment on the shelves of your local retailer. Both of those are exported and sold overseas because of the solution quality.

USA excels at manufacturing complex solutions versus simple ones. Well for now, since number of US States are pushing for de-education.

I do look at the labels and check where products are manufactured. Anything from Texas and Florida are put back on the shelves because I choose not fund those politically corrupt states and support treating immigrants and sub human.

Nevertheless most of this gear is made overseas. When it is made in the US it depends heavily on foreign components.

I don't think this is true. But we as a society have royally fucked up by funding so many useless degrees. Most educated people know nothing that could contribute to anything we actually need urgently.

>I do look at the labels and check where products are manufactured. Anything from Texas and Florida are put back on the shelves because I choose not fund those politically corrupt states and support treating immigrants and sub human.

Oh, so you're one of those people who thinks enforcing the law and resisting the destruction of US society and culture is morally wrong. Perhaps you deserve to have your society die around you, but the rest of us are fighting to keep it together anyway. And we won't let you run away from this mess either.

I sorry you don't have standards on how politicians and state treat people. The USA and the world would be a better if more people did. We wouldn't idealize billions and see the for what they are, bad people. The USA would have Universal healthcare and a society focused on education. Raising your own standards improves the world for you and your neighbor.

I am not a Nationalist. Nationalism is just yes-man mentality that limits criticizing those in power being bad people, like being child rapists and part of child trafficking. The whole American / USA first is nothing more than 1930's Germany, motherland / fatherland first. Stupidity and ignorance repeating itself. People first not countries or those in power.

Those 24 hour new stations are de-education systems. I recommend reading [0] "Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid" by Douglas Hofstadter, [1] "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman, [2] "Culture in Nazi Germany" by Michael H. Kater. Systems are more complex than you have presented in understanding them.
