Or Computers, or anything electronic for that matter.
...uh, are you trying to impress us with your command of fake news?
“Or Computers, or anything electronic for that matter”
Not entirely true.
The fact that the USA doesn’t manufacture anymore is good thing according the the Free Traitor™. Set free, the “displaced” US workers are now free to pursue high paying careers in rocket science and brain surgery.
Nixon got the ball rolling on that. Some American companies wanted access to chinese slave labor. The chinks deposited the standard american politician rate into Nixon's account, and Nixon recognized china. The rest is manufacturing history.
Not true. I worked for an electronics component manufacturer’s American distribution warehouse for 20 years. We shipped $100M/yr worth of capacitors to American manufacturers. Half of that we manufactured at our plant in NC and the rest came from Japan, China, Singapore and Indonesia.
I toured a Delco facility in Kokomo where they made most of the stereos for their vehicles as well as airbag sensors and triggers. We shipped about a third of our product to other distributors like TTI and Digikey and Marshall who must have been supplying to American manufacturers. Some of our shipments went to plants in Mexico including Sony and Toshiba TV, but not much. Granted our business had fallen from a high of almost $200M in the late 90’s, but as of 2014 when I last worked there they still shipped a lot of product to American manufacturers.
So the American electronics industry is not gone, just greatly reduced, and can be grown back. If we push the “buy American” theme, we won’t even need tariffs. Of course, this is impossible if agreements like WTO and TPP outlaw labeling the country of origin. People can’t choose American made products if there is no labeling requirement.
I bought a 40" Element TV from Walmart in December, 2012 for $187 plus $40 for a five year, 100% guarantee both parts and labor and it has been perfect. I pay that much for my cable bill every MONTH.
BUY AMERICAN!!!
