“In fact, in many significant ways, U.S. manufacturing is thriving.”
Not consumer goods, for sure.
Go into the big box stores and try to find something made in the United States. Good luck.
Not too long ago, I bought a steel tape, Stanley, and it has an American flag on it, signaling it was made in the United States. They all do that, put a flag on the product, if manufactured in the United States. Trouble is, you don’t see many flags.
I was looking for some tools at Lowes lately. I could not find any made in the United States (all American companies). I say that to warm the hearts of some posters here. They won’t be satisfied until everything is made overseas.
Walmart is actually starting a Made in USA products campaign.
