There was a lot of concern about the environment. We had been burying
waste, dumping it into rivers, pumping toxic clouds into the sky. They
found away to clean things up in the US, Canada and Europe. We sent all
the seriously polluting industry to China and  other Asian countries.
Instead of paying workers the wages that unions were fighting for they
sent the jobs to countries where people work hard for peanuts.

And now, those countries pollute instead of us, yet the atmosphere is
shared. Were we winners?
Maybe, DOGE will shine light on whether we are buying munitions from
foreign countries instead of building them ourselves. Buying any
components for munitions, extra-nationally, is a clown-show move. Is
the American government that stupid? Hopefully, we're not.
Dave, if you and I are lucky, and the chances are that we will be, we
will pass this problem to younger and future generations, as we should.
