Yes, we make game/tv/movie/porn/internet. But notice that Asia is notorious at pirating them.
- BrentRitterbeck 17y agoOkay. I was trying to have a serious conversation, but I see that you've decided to take things elsewhere.
- stuffthatmatter 17y agoI'm not being facetious; read 'the walmart effect' on how walmart has encouraged the dismantling of our manufacturing sector. So what else do we produce? remember that we get our oil from middle east, our manufactured goods from Asia, our commodities from South America, cheap services from India, etc. Our GDP in the last several years were largely propped up by financial/construction sectors growth, which has mostly disappeared now.
- BrentRitterbeck 17y agoJust to name a few of the things we are producing in Ohio: solar power technology, advanced polymer technology, medical advancements, and biotechnology. Production no longer requires only smoke stacks.
- stuffthatmatter 17y agoFrom a thread down: "Just to name a few of the things we are producing in Ohio..." Yes, but in this worldwide recession, people only buy things that they need. Those things you mentioned are all advanced (want, not need) products, which has dropped severely in demand. Things we need (oil, cheap stuff, cheap services) are mostly manufactured by other countries.
- BrentRitterbeck 17y agoThings we need (oil, cheap stuff, cheap services) are all manufactured by other countries. The middle part of the country grows a large portion of what we eat. I can't state everything everyone needs, but food is certainly one of those things. On top of that, I don't see how you can say medical advancements are something we don't need.
