Bottom line, almost no consumer electronics are made in the USA. Completely gutted.
It’s amazing how quick it all went.
I can look at toys from 1980 and see “Made in Pawtucket, Rhode Island” or Akron or Massachusetts, and then look at the ones made in 1988 and they are all made in Japan, China, Taiwan and the Philippians. Another 10 and they are all now just made in China.
True, but not as a result of free trade. We have not had free trade with China, Korea or Japan at any point since WW I. Quite the opposite, where transactions at one end are treated by totally different rules than transactions at the other.
