That's nothing - here is what the US machine tool industry looks like after the Japanese.

This is the former Warner & Swasey Company where they used to make lathes.

After the Japanese or after the Unions??

Yea! Don’t blame the Japanese or Chinese. They are on the other side of the World. Look closer to home for the failure of U.S. industry. Your average WalMart shopper makes the decision on who’s working.

The average U.S. home contains many major items that are imported. The foreign manufacturers didn’t make the purchase decisions.

You probably have a union to thank for that empty building.
