The statistics from the 1990s and 2000s reveal a stark impact of free-trade agreements on American manufacturing. Following the North American Free Trade Agreement and the granting of most-favored-nation trading status to China, the U.S. saw a significant decline in its industrial sector. Hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs were lost. Additionally, tens of thousands of factories closed their doors permanently. These closures led to the collapse of economic engines in communities nationwide. The data underscores a period of economic hardship and diminished hope for the future among affected areas.

Apr 4 In the 80s, a 40″ US made TV cost about $1k ($3k in today’s money) they lasted years, but if something broke, you didn’t throw it away, you brought it to a repair man. Almost every town had a shop to get consumer electronics repaired, and stores like Radio Shack to get parts if

Apr 6 The ignorance it takes to think Incandescent Bulbs are in any way superior to LED’s is monumental and dangerous. By all means, go ahead and convince people to reverse course and replace their room lighting bulbs from LED’s back to Incandescent Bulbs.

Apr 7 The whole 10 year thing was one of the biggest scams ever. They don’t last anywhere near an long and there is an argument they don’t even last as long as incandescent and they cost significantly more.
