It's good to be able to produce things but you can't produce all the things as a country. You can't even produce all the things you need.

- lotsofpulp 2y agoI would think the US, due to its size and resources, should be able to produce most things. At least something like cars, which doesn’t depend on weather or other rare qualities, but rather just an educated and sufficient workforce. Few nations in the world get to have that kind of luxury.
- diggan 2y agoI'm no car manufacturer, nor do I work in the industry, but seems to me quite a bit of national resources are missing if the US wanted to be completely independent when making cars, resources like lithium, cobalt, natural rubber and even rare earth elements. Probably more I'm missing.
- sejje 2y agoIsn't lithium one of the most abundant elements on the planet?

- sejje 2y agoHow about concentrations high enough to be independent, which is the topic at hand?
