Our manufacturing base needs to be completely restored

Yep, we're in really bad shape. One month of ramping up domestic mask manufacturing and we're still drastically short - not good. One would think we could make millions of N-95 masks per month.

This incident has exposed a number of glaring weaknesses in our systems, but primarily in manufacturing, media and government, including congress, governors and mayors.

So many things need repair or rebuilding ASAP, and it’s all going to have to be done while the Cooties are going do whatever it is that it is going to do, hopefully mutate out and bugger off. Now is the time to make a move, come what may.

China supplanted more than that industry in its long-range plan, knowing that the industrial ability of the US was integral to victory in war, by the grace of God, which war China plans for with the US:

For instance, in the past,

The United States built and launched 141 Aircraft Carriers of all classes during the war. To protect them we built 498 escort ships (Corvettes and Frigates) As well as 349 destroyers

This is Willow Run. It was a B-24 plant built by Ford to mass produce the bomber. It ran its line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and produced a complete B-24 every 63 minutes on average. At peak, it produced 100 bombers in just two days.

America had 18 dry docks building Liberty Ships during WW2. Whereas typically riveted ships of the day took months to build, the Liberty Ships went from nothing to ready to launch in an average of 42 days in those dry docks. They were welded instead of riveted, and only built for a 5-year life span. Forty-two days doesn’t seem very fast? Well I did say that was an average. The first Liberty ship took 230 days to complete. The fastest built ship took less than five days. That is a 14,000 ton ship from laying the keel to launch in less than five days. We built 2,710 of these ships during the war.

Between the nine plants, 49,234 Sherman tanks were built during the war, accounting for about half of the tanks the US produced during the war. Yeah, half again. -Quora ^ | 2019 | Chris Morehouse

Thank God for those who served, and for those who enabled such production for the purpose of fighting evil empires. Yet now the Navy knows how to marry men with men, and thinks it is wise to have men and women work (etc.) together on subs, and all overall the military is committed to helping the enemies within, saluting the Leftist politically correct flag. On her present course of war against God, the day will come when it is said, "How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!" (2 Samuel 1:27)
