Caren, we can still do manufacturing in the U.S. when we are competitive in doing so. And yes, the supply lines have proven to be not as robust as we need them to be.

But as we discovered when building our cathedrals higher and higher and some fell down, we learnt to buttesss the walls so we could continue upwards. Same thing with supply lines and but in contrast with cathedrals the rewards are more material.

Thanks for picking up the point. I wrote "Joe's Shop American Is a Mistake".
