Not me, brother. Personally, apart from cars, I buy everything I can
from local, regional or US manufacturers, in that order.

I remain in high tech and I don't see anything coming out of China
that rivals what we do, unless they're copying our competitors, which
I wouldn't doubt.

So, you're still in the automobile business? What happens when the US
pushes the market towards electric? Will you still be in the game?

No, not the auto manufacturing business or supply base...that's half of what
it was 20 years ago and won't come back. Autos in the US will be
predominantly Asian based upon the populations propensity not to give a
flying F**K about their income opportunities. Electric's will be Asian or
Indian (Tata will have cars in the U.S. soon). Don't fight it - it's too
late, and a result of the populations buying (and voting) habits. The
rulers of the U.S. should take E Pluribus Unum off the national symbol and
replace it with "where's all my free ****?"
