American manufacturing is very much “still here”, not unlike, say, American agriculture, despite also being crowded out of GDP by other growing sectors. So I’m not sure which claim we’re arguing about.

Still waiting for you to explain global share. Still waiting for you to realize your time scales are 30 years off.

I'll always be waiting. Best of luck!

You moved the goalpost here, buddy.

American manufacturing grew in the last 20 years.(and probably before that)

Automation didn't produce the increase in jobs, to match population growth... But a claim that US manufacturing shrunk is false. No one in this thread made a claim, including you, that this is about "global scale". You just threw in this argument to avoid accepting the fact that you're wrong.
