i remember something like that in the mid to late 90s. the thing is they knew
nothing back then. they also thought that computers would take over everything
and take away jobs from all the workers. that never happened.

i've been in mfg for 29 years. in my state mfg is still going strong. what we
need to focus on is being good at things instead being the 3rd best at things.

politicians need to stop being on the take. american companies need to stop
pulling bullshit on prices. This includes farmers (milk, eggs, chicken) soda,
meat,etc. prices are high as fuck and many times there's no reason other than
profit.
so we have problems domestic and abroad with manufacturing.
