A couple things to add. Bringing back manufacturing to the US wouldn't be all bad. Prices would go up, but hopefully, we would stop buying cheap plastic stuff that now goes into our oceans, waterways and dumps. The greatgrandkids have so many plastic toys, they don't know what they have and don't have. I will all end up polluting our world.

As far work ethic goes, I used to tell new hires that to work here, you had to be worth more than what you cost.

Great thread. Thanks for starting it. We have some soul searching to do.
