Domestic manufacturing is not some golden, pure idea that should be courted no matter what. It sucks that HN seems on average interested in economic populism.
HN is only good for tech stuff. For topics like economics and geopolitics it is only marginally better than Reddit and getting worse. Despite what programmers think, they aren't smart at everything.
It might not be, but I'm tired of trying to buy domestically made stuff and it doesn't exist.
there arent reasons for an hegemon like usa to not have competitive industries in all acessible sectors; maybe is more valuable to have tangible power instead of playing financial shenanigans but who am i to criticize ?
