    Yup turns out being the only country with a significant manufacturing output when the rest of the world has to rebuild everything is pretty much an infinite money cheat code.

    Which in typical boomer fashion the next generation totally learned from by exporting all of our manufacturing and transitioning us to an economy where you have to provide a service deemed valuable by the people who took all the money.

      The subsequent generation were still kids at the time. It was silent & boomer generation capitalists who implemented neoliberalism and exported manufacturing.
