Anyone with machining or other manufacturing skills and old machines could compete, if we were rid of local zoning laws against manufacturing on large lots in rural areas. Walmart would even be willing to buy some of the products if competitively priced (certainly possible). A one-man operation can turn out a lot of parts fast on older equipment.
It’s the regulations, and commie global interests brought the local anti-competition laws and policies through their fake environmentalist/animal-worshipper associates in many locales.
