What exactly is made in the US though? Besides cars and some forged tools, I can’t think of a single thing made in the US.
Edit: I looked it up, it’s a lot of things. Airplanes, military aircraft, helicopters, satellites, rockets, construction/agriculture equipment (Caterpillar, John Deere), ICE and EV cars, chips, medical equipment (MRI, CT scanners), lots of defense stuff, drugs and pharmaceutical, processed agri goods etc.

It's not always very obvious what goes on in all the steel buildings in the parts of town that white collar people don't visit.
