My dude, most stuff is already manufactured in China, they’ve had a more or less a monopoly on consumer goods for decades, why is this really any different?

The fact that they already have a de-facto monopoly on consumer goods doesn’t mean I want them to have another one for other products.

I’d rather they kept the consumer market alive if everyone else is sucking off billionaires, unless you have some other plan, no one else does manufacturing quite as efficiently

As I said in my first comment, I am not happy with it, but the other option is worse.
I am aware this is the lesser evil, hence “Go China”.

Fair enough, and for what it’s worth, a boat load of compromises led us here in the first place, perhaps this is just kicking the can down the road too
