Well, if you're required to buy American, and the suppliers have to jump through hoops to be qualified... That can put them in a pretty rarified air. And then you're left with whatever they want to charge, for whatever they want to make.

And that sucks.

Optimally for customers we want several U.S. suppliers AND many offshore suppliers all competing against each other.

I believe that buying US made is more important than ever. Looking at the failure of supply lines.
They didn’t need to do anything with my wife. She was driving a safe, American made vehicle which was better and safer in every way then the box they put her into.

Similarly, 90% of USPS drivers could be put into a passenger wagon or minivan converted to right hand drive. It would have been massively less expensive than contracting out for another poorly designed custom made vehicle which would not otherwise be legal for sale in the US.

You didn't and don't understand.

The right people,s palms & pockets must be filled and peons controlled (can not be allowed to believe they can be in control (of power or wealth)).

Forty years ago all the different types of factories existed in the U.S. We the people did not ask for almost all our factory jobs to leave. Those at the top increased their wealth while common person was ....
