      True but most of what we rely on from China is labor that could be done by people currently working in bullshit jobs that don't produce actual material value here in the US. My favorite example is all those tanks we just paid for that the pentagon doesn't even want. There's a massive untapped labor force in the US that just needs the corporate rug ripped out from under them.

          Yep, it's a massive make-work program that is only supported because the people that represent the constituencies that rely on those jobs can't imagine any alternative.

          Not to mention shit like the F35 project
