And there you hit on the core problem of “bring back manufacturing”
Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen
SFC Thomas Foreman Exactly, and based on bitching about having to pay more for gas due to Ukraine i suspect people won't pay to bring manufacturing back either.

America is the third largest importer of fertilizer in the world. My daughter's father in law can not afford fertilizer for his farm. He is also being screwed by imported beef which is mass marketed at less than what he can sell his beef for.

I feel bad for some farmers. In down years they are minimizing losses instead of maximizing profits.
