I believe America has gone far, far beyond reacting to “the disease”, and has now created a far more destructive disease in the process.

Now China makes everything.

This is a serious issue. Sure America needs to be more friendly to corporations and manufacturing, but we have gone (far) too far in selling out.

I’m sorry but America needs to make a whole huge bunch of stuff, but every producer is busy sending American manufacturing to the largest communist nation on the entire planet.

Bring back American manufacturing.

Why not accept that manufacturing is gone from this country? Why not let the rust and weeds finish what they started? Why not just embrace the era of disposability? And why didn't we buy a warmer coat before we moved here? Through three Detroit winters, we’ve asked ourselves these questions. And worked not to find our answer, but to build it. Because we don't think American manufacturing ever failed for being too good. Our worst didn't come when we were at our best. It happened when we thought good was good enough. It's a tall order to return to form, but we're up for it. We’re starting with the reinvigoration of a storied American brand, and a storied American city. Because we believe in the beauty of industry. The glory of manufacturing. We know there’s not just history in Detroit, there is a future. It’s why we are here. Making an investment in skill, at scale. Creating a community that will thrive through excellence of craft and pride of work. Where we will reclaim the making of things that are made well. And define American luxury through American quality.

You always post this stuff and scream for protective tariffs. Gen.Blather and others have repeatedly showed you the real problem. It's not evil profiteer ‘s it's, it's oppressive government.
