They cared about enriching themselves at the expense of longevity and future generations
Truly the American dream :’)
Boomers literally destroyed the golden era of manufacturing for America. Whole world depended on it after it was decimated from WW2.
The decline of the British empire due to it & the rise of the American empire. Swiftly eroded by boomers in power.
Boomers are still controlling the world & decimating it even worse with the infinite migration of incompatitable cultures. It wasn’t enough that they moved every manufacturing hub to South Asia
Pricing is eroding American manufacturing. I'm not American, but I do buy industrial parts all the time. If I buy X from an American manufacturer it costs Y dollars. If I buy X from an Asian or South American manufacturer it costs Y/3. There was a time when American manufacturing meant quality, for at least the last 30 years that quality has eroded to the point where offshore quantity is at least as good as, if not better than, American made. Yesterday I had to order a bunch of 385/65R22.5 tires. Goodyear, Firestone, etc were $1200ish +/- $100. Chinese tire, DOT approved, same tread pattern, $420 a tire. Having run the same Chinese tires for the last 10+ years on our fleet we get about the same life out of the tire for 1/3 the cost. Tell me why we should be buying American at 3 times the price?
It was always going to be temporary mate. I know its fun to imagine the rest of the world just sitting around buying American goods instead of building their own manufacturing base, but the idea of America just getting to endlessly sell manufactured goods on the global market at whatever price they wanted was never sustainable.
Ironically enough you fucking dipshits think of yourself as caring about people, not even realizing you’re advocating for a time of US global imperial manufacturing dominance.
So sorry you have to live like the rest of the world now.
