I strongly support having all manufacturing in the US. I don't buy much and try to always care for what I buy and repair it if needed. I don't think all others feel the same.

Capital for sure is doing just fine the way things are. They make in other places, and bring it here, pocketing huge profits. No reason to change. The wealthiest 20% do over half of consumption, all they need from the bottom half is servants. The well to do like the goods from elsewhere that are now high quality.

Not sure what's to be done.
