Replacing pharma DRUGS is a huge issue. TRUMP was trying, but obama/senile thwarted most all the rules instituted by Trump. TRUMP must be re-elected--or it is OVER for the USA. rr That's a fact. It's Trump or death, literally. There are some sheep that will ignore the fact that the global population has already been reduced by a BILLION and the WEF (World Economic Forum) goal is to only have 500M globally in 6 years (Agenda 2030). Presumably as slaves.

TRUMP must be re-elected--or it is OVER for the USA. rr Yep, my example was small and insignificant as things go, but I know as much about it as anyone so I will expand on it. I spoke of the washer. The rest of the wire frame comes to the wire shop in huge spools that have to be moved with a forklift. They get it from a place in Nashville who gets it from china. my supplier only cuts and welds it. The inner liner of most shades is polystyrene, a petroleum product. I used to be able to buy it a semi truck load at a time from Atlanta. I am not sure where my supplier gets it now, but the price is eight times what it was and the quality is a lot worse. When gas goes up in price, the styrene goes up, but it never goes back down. The cloth on the outer liner of a shade is the same as with clothing. They both get it from the same place. They dye it for color. It used to come from the mills in the Carolinas, but they closed. When Trump was president, a few of them started opening back up. My supplier made a strong effort to get it from the Carolina mills. He was a good honest man I had known for forty years. Now it is imported again. For protection, we wrap our shades in a clear cellophane. It is the same stuff a cigarette pack is wrapped in. It used to be domestic. Now the only place to get it is from an importer who gets it from china. I used to have six major choices of suppliers here in the USA. I now have one. When my friend of forty years retired, they replaced him with a crook and a liar. Quality became horrible. I recently gave them another chance and over half of what they sent was unusable. I now buy from a place in Canada. Quality is not great, but at least the lady I deal with is not a crook and a liar. We use a special kind of tape that runs through a machine to bind the shade to the wire. It used to be plentiful, relatively cheap and easy to get. It now comes from an importer who gets it from china and it is expensive. A place here and in Canada tried to make it. It didn't work very well and they said demand was to low for them to make a profit, so they gave it up. We use a couple of different glues. A place in Memphis says they make it, but I am not sure where the ingredients come from. This is just an insignificant little lampshade. Multiply that by how many products? Most are much more crucial to our everyday lives.

You're right fiddling - it's a long uphill climb for manufacturing. We've gutted so much of that infrastructure it is difficult at best and near impossible for some items. We'll have to see if Americans are willing to pay the price to regain control of their destiny. Right now, we don't control it as a country.

Deregulation from top to bottom until this Country can breathe again. f%@! their beloved Communism, they can jam that up their collective ass!
