We have some manufacturing left.
What no one is discussing is the incredible state of emergency we would be in if we ever were in a war and had to manufacture anything for a war effort.
We are too reliant and have allowed our means of production to wither.
Does anyone realize just how exposed we are in the event of an emergency?
I posted this on the thread titled "The damage “conservatives” in Washington have done" 11 days ago.
The implications should be obvious: we cannot produce our own war materiel anymore. Where will our tanks, planes, ships, and missiles come from, should we suddenly need more?
