re: #354 Obdicut

The problem with manufacturing in this country is not that we lack it, but that it doesn’t produce that many jobs.

What I said, meaning that we don’t have enough of it.

Do you think coffee cups are hand molded and PCs have a large manual component? Have you ever visited an electronics assembly plant?

And it is not just cheap labor markets. The most sophisticated automated assembly plant equipment of all sorts, from packaging herrings in tins, to much of what you see on TV’s “How Do They Do It” is made in Europe, not here.
