We used to make EVERYTHING.

We don’t make clothing
We don’t make tvs
We don’t make cell phones.
We don’t make computers.

Etc, etc...

We need more tariffs until we’ve re-established manufacturing in the above areas.

We have a little start with computers with the Mac Pro plant in TX.

Unfortunately, Apple has been criminally negligent in their treatment of the desktop Mac line, especially the Pro and Mini. Cook is an idiot to not use a tiny fraction of the reserve to refresh the MacOS part of the ecosystem that makes for the most complete integration of the iOS products (iPhone, iPod, iPad, iWatch) and has been earned by the grahic artists and publishing types that kept Apple afloat during the lean years.

Foxconn could make TV screes, cell phones and computer main boards in Wisconsin. Eight out of 11 Intel manufacturing plants are in the U.S. (OR, AZ, NM, MA). The processor is the most expensive (and most profitable for a big company) part of the computer. The other three plants are in Israel, Ireland and Red China.
