Gee, must be a lotta young folks here.
Some of us grew up in an America that bought almost nothing from China. Or Japan, unless you counted cheap radios.
Oddly everything seemed to work. And it was affordable.
Houses, cars, radios, airplanes, even tires...
Now guys like you tell me that an enemy country that we have only been doing business with for 30 years is “indispensable” and that this is the “conservative” position.
We used to call it Trading With the Enemy and it was a serious Federal crime.
Funny how age colors your thoughts.
And you could most always find a job, summer job or longer term, in one of the manufacturing plants located in practically every community in the US.
