Yes, but we can make movies. Take that!
What worries me is that the manufacturing “ecosystem” is gone, and would take DECADES to (re?) build. It isn’t even a matter of rebuilding, it would basically be starting over from nearly scratch. It would be hard to build anything here economically when 90% of the supply chain is more than 5,000 miles away - a classic chicken/egg problem.
