And the other 90%? Some would be inter-company business, and the rest woul be the internal handling and distribution of the mass-imported consumer goods.
The other 90 percent is purely domestic industry. Mind you its also mostly services. But thats again the nature of what people buy in the states, and a factor of better automization of manufacturing. The reality is the raw number of services purchases has gone up way more then manufacturing, which has been essentially stagnate in demand domestically.
pretend that shipping all manufacture offshore to prop up a just-in-time supplychain model is "the perfect" solution is disingenuous at best, and the musings of an industry insider at worst
I didnt say it was the right micro level solution. I said the government shouldnt interfere and as a whole its better for the govt to allow it for the states. In the short term companies will make bad decisions and ultimately bring some things back.. Which is happening. In the long run the right things will end up off sure and the right things here. There are things that are better there then here believe it or not.
