In Reply to: "The US has outsourced this..." Let's be clear, US companies, not the government. nt posted by tinear on January 13, 2022 at 07:27:29:
US companies outsourced critical supplies to keep profits high and consumer prices acceptable. US govt did nothing to prevent this. US population didn't give a rat's ass one way or the other as to sourcing ...until a predicted but unprepared for pandemic upset supply chains which in turn affected consumption habits. All three entities bear some responsibility for our present situation.
