I guess the hope is that by making foreign parts unreasonably
expensive, it will become less expensive to start manufacturing them
over here again.  Apparently, since the microchip shortage, new
factories are being built somewhere vaguely near Leo's part of the US
so we can make our own semiconductors.

Good news!  I found out we are in the top 10% world-wide as producers
of some types of LED bulbs.  ?Lumix? (something like that).

That's good! You don't know what it is, but you're in the top 10!
Yeehaw!

Google is
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.

Handy! Do they come with an oxygen tank?
