IMO i all began when metric fasteners was allowed to enter the us auto industry. Up to few years ago us made aircraft engines have no metric fasteners ( I don’t know now due out of the work force for 5 years) I hated working on my late 60s and newer cars having to have two sets of sockets and wrenches. But, it didn’t bother companies management which was looking to save dime to gain buck in bonus. Then, the government sold us out ceos lobbying for cheap labor. Now, few items are truly American made. US was supposed to go all metric which is BS to me, but that never happen due to outrageous costs involved. So we suffer for political and profit gains for 1%er’s
Another thing, before China could make anything it was made in Japan junk, Now japan made items are considered the highest quality in the world. Even Japanese parts are made in China. Now, About everything cast in made in China due no regulations and slave labor. The are few items for sale in stores that don’t have Chinese connections. In the end the will be the super power and we helps them for 100 years. IMO The world as we know it will be very different in about 20 years.
