Yeah. Saw an article earlier today lamenting the state of mask manufacturing in the US, how it got outsourced to China, came back a little bit when the WuFlu arrived and now is getting outsourced again so all the little pop-up mask factories are on the verge of shutting down again.

If we'd stop outsourcing everything then these problems wouldn't be as bad. Trade with other places, sure. But if you're relying on other countries to supply things that you think you'll need (oil much moreso than masks, of course), you're now tied to the fate of that other country.
