Nevertheless most of this gear is made overseas. When it is made in the US it depends heavily on foreign components.

>USA excels at manufacturing complex solutions versus simple ones. Well for now, since number of US States are pushing for de-education.

I don't think this is true. But we as a society have royally fucked up by funding so many useless degrees. Most educated people know nothing that could contribute to anything we actually need urgently.

>I do look at the labels and check where products are manufactured. Anything from Texas and Florida are put back on the shelves because I choose not fund those politically corrupt states and support treating immigrants and sub human.

Oh, so you're one of those people who thinks enforcing the law and resisting the destruction of US society and culture is morally wrong. Perhaps you deserve to have your society die around you, but the rest of us are fighting to keep it together anyway. And we won't let you run away from this mess either.
