Yep, it is scary that many people don't know that US manufacturing is at all time highs.

The package says made in China. Some parts may come from the US. The machines that make the parts may come from the US. But at the end of the day if you walk down any aisle in a big box store almost everything will be stamped with made in China.

Broadcom and Intel still manufacturer chips in the US but the laptops it's packaged in is still shipping from China.

People are judging by number of jobs, not the fed calculating output. I think that's more rational than scary.
