The manufacturing capacity of China today makes Detroit’s hay-day of the 1950-60s look like a local mom and pop tool and die company.

We. Are. Done. It is over. Containerized shipping where one ship can carry 57 miles of containers lined up end to end is an overwhelming trade juggernaut.

The spread of chicom trade goods has infected our culture to the point it is difficult to impossible to find USA made goods and a lot of those goods that are made here have parts that are made in China.

I agree. The world has too much interdependency. I read somewhere that the cost to ship halfway around the world is $26 per ton (a number that fluctuates). That’s basically nothing.
