Lol, show me where I said America has no manufacturing. I said the data presented does not support the conclusions the author of the article claims, and that the stats generated with nothing but totals tell us very little.
It's amazing how many people just read something, then erect their own straw man claim about what they say someone said (which they didn't say), then demand they defend it.
Will88 Lol, show me where I said America has no manufacturing
If I said "Lol, show me where I said you said America has no manufacturing" you might counter with "Lol, show me where I said you said I said America has no manufacturing" and that gets boring so let's get back to the data -'scant' or otherwise. The article presented data, more data got posted. Hard numbers from you would be useful.
