I guess I can't get my thoughts across in a post. 1st I don't blame China or the Chinese people for this virus. This virus doesn't care who you are, your race or position in life makes no difference. Political, every leader all the way back to old honest Abe has made mistakes. I may not have done as good as the worst of them. The only point I was considering is buying American made is almost impossible. For American manufacturing to come back will be a long hard road. My point about a lathe or a transformer is this. These are staple components that most manufacturing would come from. I know I can buy a 60's American lathe. The lathe is a good indicator of how long manufacturing has been going away from America. it started decades ago and will take decades to come back. My mention of the president is only to point out one person or one position can not make this change. If I thought I could just set back and wait for a leader of any kind to change America I would be a fool. For us to change we have to come together. We may have to put our race or views aside. Look at the reservoirs built at the turn of the century. People from all walks of life came together because the economy everywhere made people leave the family farm or their country. Some of the greatest innovations came from these projects. Disasters can have great outcome. We need, "our countries" need to work together diversity can be a great strength.
