 Good news!  I found out we are in the top 10% world-wide as producers

trapped bwtween old data were we stopped making them and newer data
with lists of ones we make them and are now a top supplier of some
types.
 

Recently, I bought a 1965 Packard Bell color television console.  It
was all made in the USA, in Los Angeles.  It's a wonder that it found
its way to the east coast all of these years later.  I like the round
color picture tube with the corners cut off, it's so quaint.

 Grin, I googled TV's and we still make them, especially specialty types
that are waterproof.

Hmm, interesting.
FYI, on my trip to Virginia, I went to pick up the Packard Bell TV. It's quite a large piece of furniture with a stereo built in too.

Sorry for the DSI1 style slide off-topic, but I guess my point is
that we could make our own televisions and electronics in the US
again, like we did in the "good 'ole days".

 I think that is partly the aim, at least with more countries on Tariff.
 Pharmacuiticals may be the hard spot?  Single sourced ones.

Gosh, our pharmaceuticals are expensive enough as it is.
