One huge problem I have is just so many raw electronics and machined parts are only manufactured in china alone and nowhere else. Things like stepper motors, heating elements, aluminum machined rods, etc. I do 3d printing and I never once seen any of the electronics or anything else made in America. Its really sort of sad how much we just gifted them in terms of manufacturing. We really screwed ourselves by moving so much into china.

Hopefully in Trumps 2nd term, he can help remedy this issue and push congress to get businesses to leave China.

Totally agree. Since the spring I've been trying to eliminate purchasing products made in China, but in some cases, even with significant time spent researching options, it is impossible.

Hopefully a fix will be available for this shortly.
