There are others.

Still, transformers are a problem ... many of the really biggest are made in Korea, China, or India, and wait times are long.

My point is not that all is wonderful ... it’s not ... but that generally the “we don’t make anything in America anymore” is bullstuff.

The USA doesn't make much anymore.

There is only ONE factory that can make antibiotics in the USA.

There is only one dry dock in the USA that can handle a super carrier.

I could go on.

Still, it made my day. So thank you. On a related note, we may make things but it is hard to get folks to show up to work....at least here in Hawaii. I hear it is bad in other areas of the country as well. Perhaps that will improve too.

Had an appointment with a contractor I’ve worked with before. He didn’t show or call. Standard around here. They call it “aloha” and smile a lot. Oh well.
