I hated when it happened.....I was manufacturing in NY....business with friends, and families.
Then I had to move production to Mexico, to stay competitive after NAFTA.
Ultimately, that wasnt good enough, and everything was then made in China, Malaysia, India....I hated sending funds overseas, instead of here.

But it all started when we found the fastest solution to pollution in our streams...1966....was to pollute others rivers and air.

I dont know if people would be willing to pay the costs?

I paid $1000 for my first stereo, so an iphone would be $2000-$3000 today....LEDs, maybe $3.00?

Would we all pay without complaint?

When I started, I was paying $.35 an hour for low skill labor in China, today, its around $.80-$1.20.
When everything is taken into account, China's labor is 6 to 10 times cheaper than here.
There is Government help for Equipment and Assets, etc.

Small adjustments we can handle, a trade war with hyperinflation.....is concerning.
