Yeah, I agree. The whole chain is long and no one really knows everything. Even China doesn't produce everything albeit it is the manufacturing powerhouse of the world right now.
Since I live in Canada, a country that needs to import a lot of manufactured goods from foreign countries, I'm worried that a reboot is not possible. Adding the US into the picture improves quite a bit, but again US has transformed from a manufacturing giant to a financial one for many decades.
- __d 2y agoI was surprised a couple of years ago to read that the US no longer made the aluminum tubing used to make bicycle frames. Despite having quite a significant custom frame building scene and many craftspeople, such a simple raw material was no longer made in the US. I'm sure there are many, many things like this, for most countries.
